Safeguarding sustainability of forest ecosystems with their habitat variability and all their
functions is of highest priority. Therefore, the long-term adaptability of forest ecosystems to a …

Asian tropical forests are amongst the most diverse on the planet, a richness that belies the
fact that they are dominated by a single family of trees, the Dipterocarpaceae. Many other …

Considering the research gaps and areas to be prioritized, specifically in the forestry
research sector with stress given on conservation genetics and tree improvement, we have …

While much research has focused on genetic variation in plants in relation to abiotic clines in
temperate and boreal forests, few studies have examined similar relationships in tropical …

Topography is associated with variation in soil water, biogeochemical properties and
climate, which drive diversity by filtering species and promoting niche differences. However …

Introduction Hopea hainanensis Merrill & Chun is considered a keystone and indicator
species in the tropical lowland rainforests of Hainan Island. Owing to its high-quality timber …

Abstract Giam Malut Hopea ferrea Laness (Dipterocarpaceae) is a woody species that has
become endangered due to its habitat destruction and overexploitation. In an effort to …

Effective reforestation of degraded tropical forests depends on selecting planting material
suited to the stressful environments typical at restoration sites that can be exacerbated by …

Hopea hainanensis Merrill & Chun (Dipterocarpaceae) is an endangered tree species
restricted to Hainan Island, China and a small part of Northern Vietnam. On Hainan Island, it …

We aimed to introduce and test the “seed mass–distribution range trade‐off” hypothesis, that
is, that range size is negatively related to seed mass due to the generally better dispersal …
