On average, tropical rainforests receive annualprecipitationof more than 150cm. In a single month, the rainforest can receive 4 inches of rain. Tropical rainforest differs from other climates. Evaporation in other climates is transported to fall as rain in other far areas. In tropical rainforests...
The decrease in δ18O and δ2H was also observed in precipitation data of a continuous rain event of two successive days. The local meteoric water lines estimated for Warri, Ughelli and Abraka were δ2H = 8.8 δ18O + 9.1 ‰ (R2 = 0.93), δ2H = 6.9 δ18O + 10.7 ‰ (R2 = 0.98...
a vulnerable tropical tree species in Singapore (Lindsay et al.2022), has responded to habitat degradation and extreme forest fragmentation in the highly urbanised state of Singapore. Most of the loss of natural ecosystems and species in Singapore had occurred...
Soil P cycle and bioavailability are intricately linked to water levels [31]. According to research conducted using a natural precipitation gradient, water conditions have a major influence on soil P transformation [32,33]. For instance, the intense drought experienced in the Caribbean forest in 20...
To examine whether the populations ofS. leprosulaexperience dry environments, we analyzed multiple datasets of precipitation across the range ofS. leprosula. First, we extracted the precipitation of the driest month across the spatial range ofS. leprosulafrom the WorldClim data. Despite a broad va...
Drought impacts on microbial activity can alter soil carbon fate and lead to the loss of stored carbon to the atmosphere as CO2and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Here we examined drought impacts on carbon allocation by soil microbes in the Biosphere 2 artificial tropical rainforest by tracking...
Rates of FLNF were low in primary rainforest on poor soils on the Guiana shield. Water was the most important rate-regulating factor and FLNF increased with increasing P, but decreased with increasing N. Our results support the general assumption that N fixation in tropical lowland forests is...
This forest is char- acterized as a seasonal tropical rainforest and dominated by large individuals of Parashorea chinensis (Dipterocarpaceae). There are 111,177 stems and 468 species of trees in this plot. The climate is strongly seasonal with distinct alterations between the dry season (from ...
The long-term average (1956–2019) annual temperature is 26.1 °C maximum and 15.3 °C minimum with a mean annual precipitation of 1359 mm (Unicamp, 2020). 2.2. Experimental setup, treatments and cropping history The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four treatments and ...
We further identified that there was a threshold effect of precipitation on NPP. Specifically, productivity increased more rapidly when monthly precipitation below 229mm. In summary, we conclude that periods of low rainfall strongly regulate the productivity in this tropical seasonal rainforest which ...
