forests. Meanwhile, forest-dependent people are gaining more management control over the forests they have long stewarded. Large international companies are finally establishing policies that exclude materials sourced via deforestation. People are abandoning rural areas, leading to forest recovery in some ...
The international team also investigated how much tropical mountain forest had been lost from the African continent in the past 20 years. They found that 0.8 million hectares (3,100 square miles) have been lost, mostly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and...

Encompassing thick tropical rain forests, wide-open savannas, countless rivers and lakes, and the majestic, snowcapped Ruwenzori Range, Uganda is a country of amazing contrasts. 乌干达是一个景色多样化的国家。 境内有浓密的热带雨林,辽阔的热带草原,无数河流和湖泊。 鲁文佐里山宏伟壮观、白雪盖顶。
A field experiment in Uganda shows how potassium and phosphorus keep leaves functioning during times of water scarcity, highlighting the need to consider ecosystem-scale processes in studying the response of forests to nutrient limitation. Kelly M. Andersen ...
Trees structure the Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystem, tropical forests. The vast number of tree species presents a formidable challenge to understanding these forests, including their response to environmental change, as very little is known about most
More than 40 % of the world’s 4 billion hectares forests are located in tropical regions and cover 1.73 billion hectares which corresponds to nearly half of the tropical land area. Deforestation – mainly the conversion of tropical forests to agricultur

Because tropical forests typically experience low temporal variability in temperature, small changes can result in climate conditions that lie entirely outside the normal range to which species are adapted. Consequently, we assume that temperature novelty is a better measure of climate vulnerability than...
