A research agenda for microclimate ecology in human-modified tropical forests
Logging and habitat fragmentation impact tropical forest ecosystems in numerous ways,
perhaps the most striking of which is by altering the temperature, humidity, and light …

Forest structure drives changes in light heterogeneity during tropical secondary forest succession
Light is a key resource for tree performance and hence, tree species partition spatial and
temporal gradients in light availability. Although light distribution drives tree performance …

Deforestation-induced surface warming is influenced by the fragmentation and spatial extent of forest loss in Maritime Southeast Asia
Deforestation in the tropics causes warming which contributes to regional climate change.
Forest loss occurs over a broad range of spatial scales, producing a variety of spatial …
