    • Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests 

      Hubau, Wannes; Lewis, Simon L; Phillips, Oliver L.; Baffoe, Kofi Affum; Beeckman, Hans; Sanchez, Aida Cuní; Daniels, Armandu K.; Ewango, Corneille E. N.; Fauset, Sophie; Bitariho, Robert; Mukinzi, Jacques M.; Sheil, Douglas; Sonké, Bonaventure; Sullivan, Martin J. P.; Sunderland, Terry C. H. (Nature, 2020-03-04)
      Structurally intact tropical forests sequestered about half of the global terrestrial carbon uptake over the 1990s and early 2000s, removing about 15 per cent of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions1–3. Climate-driven ...
    • Consistent patterns of common species across tropical tree communities 

      Cooper, Declan L. M.; Lewis, Simon L.; Sullivan, Martin J. P.; Prado, Paulo I.; Steege, Hans ter; Bitariho, Robert; Barbier, Nicolas; Slik, Ferry (Nature, 2024-01-10)
      Trees structure the Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystem, tropical forests. The vast number of tree species presents a formidable challenge to understanding these forests, including their response to environmental change, as ...
    • High above ground carbon stock of African tropical montane forests 

      Sanchez, Aida Cuni; Sullivan, Martin J. P.; Platts, Philip J.; Lewis, Simon L.; Marchant, Rob; Imani, Gerard; Hubau, Wannes; Abiem, Iveren; Adhikari, Hari; Albrecht, Tomas; Altman, Jan; Amani, Christian; Aneseyee, Abreham B.; Bitariho, Robert; Avitabile, Valerio; Banin, Lindsay (Nature, 2021-08-25)
      Tropical forests store 40–50 per cent of terrestrial vegetation carbon1. However, spatial variations in aboveground live tree biomass carbon (AGC) stocks remain poorly understood, in particular in tropical montane forests2. ...
    • Occurrence dynamics of mammals in protected tropical forests respond to human presence and activities 

      Pascual, Asunción Semper; Sheil, Douglas; Beaudrot, Lydia; Dupont, Pierre; Dey, Soumen; Ahumada, Jorge; Akampurira, Emmanuel; Bitariho, Robert; Espinosa, Santiago; Jansen, Patrick A.; Lima, Marcela Guimarães Moreira; Martin, Emanuel H.; Mugerwa, Badru; Rovero, Francesco; Santos, Fernanda; Uzabaho, Eustrate; Bischof, Richard (nature ecology & evolution, 2023-06-26)
      Protected areas (PAs) play a vital role in wildlife conservation. Nonetheless there is concern and uncertainty regarding how and at what spatial scales anthropogenic stressors influence the occurrence dynamics of wildlife ...
