Zones of rapid species turnover between everwet and seasonal forest reveal trade-offs between adaptation for everwet versus seasonal climate. The distinction between humid and dry seasonal forest is far less cl

chemistry in the seasonal, drier forest at Parida than in the aseasonal, wetter forest of Bastimentos (p = 0.0079, with species identity as a random factor; see Fig.2). In general, leaves at Parida were characterized by higher flavonoid and condensed tannin content than those from Basti...
. The remaining systems represented 14% of species. Flowering occurred year-round for most pollination systems, predominating the seasonal flowering strategy. Flowering patterns ranged from aggregated to nested, and random. Climate affected the flowering of most pollination systems, but there was no ph...

Tree Species Diversity of a Tropical Seasonal Rainforest in Xishuangbanna, 《西双版纳热带季节雨林树种多样性研究》编辑推荐:西双版纳的热带雨林是中国生物多样性最丰富的地区之一,国际上认定为重要的生物多样性保护中心。西双版纳热带雨林是特殊的、罕见的、不可替
Forest ecosystems sequester large amounts of atmospheric CO2, and the contribution from seasonally dry tropical forests is not negligible. Thus, the objective of this study was to quantify and evaluate the seasonal and annual patterns of CO2 exchanges in
seasonal water balance under the forestation only scenario were relatively minor, while changes were more pronounced under the climate change only scenario. Based on the combined impacts scenario, it was observed that the effects of a larger forest area on the water balance were smaller than the ...
The ecological consequences of climate change for large tropical forests such as the Amazon are likely to be profound. Amazonian forests strongly influence regional and global climates and therefore any changes in forest structure, such as deforestation or die-back, may create positive feedback on ex...
