Soil respiration (SR) in forests contributes significant carbon dioxide emissions from
terrestrial ecosystems and is highly sensitive to environmental changes, including soil …

The world's largest terrestrial animals (megafauna) can play profound roles in seed
dispersal. Yet, the term 'megafauna'is often used to encompass a diverse range of body …

Forest biomass estimation at large scale is challenging and generally entails large
uncertainty in tropical regions. With their wall‐to‐wall coverage ability, passive remote …

Half of Asian tropical forests were disturbed in the last century resulting in the dominance of
secondary forests in Southeast Asia. However, the rate at which biomass accumulates …

Recent studies have suggested that defaunation of large-bodied frugivores reduces above-
ground carbon storage in tropical forests of South America and Africa, but not, or less so, in …

Large-scale abandoned agricultural areas in Southeast Asia resulted in patches of forests of
multiple successions and characteristics, challenging the study of their responses to …

Seed dispersal by frugivores, particularly primates, plays an important role in structuring and
maintaining tree diversity in tropical forests. However, little is known about the effect of …

The study of seed dispersal in tropical forest communities is complicated by the high
diversity of frugivores and the complex interactions among species and their environments …

Deforestation has created heterogeneous patches of old-growth and secondary forests
throughout Southeast Asia, posing challenges for understanding the hydrological and …

Despite a long tradition in ecology of studying tree species assembly and its potential drivers
in tropical forest communities, little information exists with respect to lianas (woody climbers) …
