Though seasonally dry tropical forests are equally as important to global biodiversity as
tropical rainforests, and are one of the most representative and highly endangered …

Floristic inventory and diversity assessments are necessary to understand the present
diversity status and conservation of forest biodiversity. Although, inventory and diversity …

By applying engineering theory, we found that in order to achieve a certain degree of stem
mechanical stability, trees with low wood dry-mass density (ρD) need to produce thicker …

Recent emphasis in research on Latin American tropical forests dominates our
understanding of how seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) may respond to climatic …

We assessed the structure, diversity and distribution of tree species in a 10.24-ha permanent
plot of high Restinga forest (HRF) in southeastern Brazil. We sampled 15,040 individuals …

Introduction Resprouting is a crucial survival strategy following the loss of branches, being it
by natural events or artificially by pruning. The resprouting prediction on a physiological …

This paper shows a Holocene paleoecological reconstruction based on a peat bog
sequence (El Paují, 4° 28′ N–61° 35′ W, 865m elevation) located in the transition zone …

Treefall gaps play important roles in tropical rain-forest ecology. But studies rely increasingly
on models, remote sensing, and a few intensively studied research sites, mostly in the …

The canopy disturbance regime and the influence of gap methods on the interpretation of
forest structure and dynamics were evaluated in a tropical semi-deciduous forest in south …

Seasonal semideciduous forests in southeastern Brazil have experienced intensive
fragmentation, and the interference of weeds may affect the dynamics of restored …
