Positive Effects of Scattered Trees on Soil Water Dynamics in a Pasture Landscape in the Tropics
(2021)
As a result of canopy interception and transpiration, trees are often assumed to have negative effects on the local hydrological budget resulting in reduced soil and groundwater resources. However, it has also been shown ...
Multidimensional tropical forest recovery
(AAAS, Washington, DC (USA), 2021-12)
Tropical forests disappear rapidly because of deforestation, yet they have the potential to regrow
naturally on abandoned lands. We analyze how 12 forest attributes recover during secondary succession
and how their ...
