A tropical rainforest is a luxuriant forest found in wet tropical uplands and lowlands near the Equator. Tropical rainforests are dominated by broad-leaved trees that form a dense upper canopy and contain a wide array of vegetation and other life. Worldw
Tropical rainforest - Biodiversity, Ecosystems, Canopy: Tropical rainforests are distinguished not only by a remarkable richness of biota but also by the complexity of the interrelationships of all the plant and animal inhabitants that have been evolving
Here we assess the impact of future climate change, atmospheric CO2concentrations and lightning-caused wildfires on forest restoration efforts in the tropics by conducting 221 dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM) simulations that cover the full range of available climate change scenarios and varying de...
The aim of this project has been to identify the most effective and efficient options for global climate policies focusing on the tropical forest. Tropical deforestation is a process with very complex and variable causes. In the project's conclusions, therefore, much care has been given to ...
Forests, carbon and global climate This review places into context the role that forest ecosystems play in the global carbon cycle, and their potential interactions with climate change. We f... Y Malhi,P Meir,S Brown - 《Philosophical Transactions Mathematical Physical & Engineering Sciences》 被...
Rainforest emissions linked with new particle formation at high altitudes Why are there so many newly formed aerosol particles in the upper troposphere over tropical regions such as the Amazon? Tropical forests play an important role in global climate regulation. However, the high concentrations ......
Tropical forest biodiversity is potentially at high risk from climate change, but most species reside within or below the canopy, where they are buffered from extreme temperatures. Here, by modelling the hourly below-canopy climate conditions of 300,000 tropical forest locations globally between 1990...
forest ecosystems, and species living in these fragile ecosystems. Further research is also needed to generate knowledge on the status and significances of TDFs and their responses in the face of the changing climate so as to bring their sustainable management to the attention of policymakers and...
A network of more than 100 researchers tracked trees for up to 30 years in forest plots across South America, enabling estimation of the impacts of record temperatures and drought on carbon dynamics. The carbon sink in these forests ceased during the 2015–2016 El Niño, with drier forests ...
This limited understanding also curtails scientific input into land use, biodiversity, climate and other forest-related policy and management. Our understanding of tropical forests may improve through a focus on the most common tree species. This is a promising avenue, given that species abundance ...
