Tropical montane vegetation dynamics near the upper cloud belt strongly associated with a shifting ITCZ and fire
(2022)
Tropical montane forests house unusual and diverse biota and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, particularly near the trade wind inversion (TWI) – the upper end of the cloud belt that defines tropical ...
Spatial patterns of biomass and aboveground net primary productivity in a mangrove ecosystem in the Dominican Republic
(2003)
The objective of this study was to quantify spatial patterns in above and below ground biomass, primary productivity, and growth efficiency along a tidal gradient in a 4700-ha mangrove forest in the Dominican Republic. We ...
