16 apr. 2018 · Topography is a key driver of tropical forest structure and composition, as it constrains local nutrient and hydraulic conditions within which trees grow. Yet, we do not fully understand how changes in forest physiognomy driven by topography impact other emergent properties of forests, such as their aboveground carbon density ( ACD ).
22 iun. 2020 · Abstract. Tropical forests are vital for global biodiversity, carbon storage and local livelihoods, yet they are increasingly under threat from human activities. Large-scale land...
21 dec. 2021 · In tropical, low-income regions, land-use planning instruments for agriculture are fundamental in supporting the social and economic conditions of local communities (FAO = Food and Agriculture Organization, 2017; Lambin, Gibbs, et al., 2013 ).
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. Search across a wide variety of disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court...
1 iul. 2017 · Deforestation, the removal of forest canopy and conversion to another land use, has engendered significant international efforts to stop or reverse loss of tree cover.
1 apr. 2017 · Terrain is an important environment factor that plays a vital role in human development by influencing the spatial layout of land use patterns. The terrain niche index, combined with slope and elevation, can comprehensively present detailed information about spatial differences in terrain and is superior to single terrain factors.
9 apr. 2015 · We established a series of 9 1-ha plots in old-growth tropical rainforest in Costa Rica along a 2700 m relief elevational gradient to carry out long-term monitoring of tropical rain forest structure, dynamics and tree growth.
