Hurricane impacts on a mangrove forest in the Dominican Republic : damage patterns and early recovery
(2006)On 22 September 1998, Hurricane Georges passed over the Dominican Republic causing extensive damage to a 4700 ha mangrove forest that has been the site of a detailed study of vegetation and ecosystem dynamics since 1994. ... -
Mangroves enhance the biomass of coral reef fish communities in the Caribbean
(2004)Mangrove forests are one of the world's most threatened tropical ecosystems with global loss exceeding 35%. Juvenile coral reef fish often inhabit mangroves, but the importance of these nurseries to reef fish population ... -
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 ... -
Small-scale disturbance and regeneration dynamics in a neotropical mangrove forest
(2000)Mangrove forests are affected by a variety of natural disturbances that differ in scale, intensity and frequency. Small canopy gaps, although common, have not been well studied. We examined the role of lightning-created ...
