On the scaling of activity in tropical forest mammals
(Oikos, 2020)
Activity range - the amount of time spent active per day - is a fundamental aspect contributing to the optimization process by which animals achieve energetic balance. Based on their size and the nature of their diet, ...
Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests
(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 ...
Taking the pulse of Earth’s tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots
(Biological Conservation, 2020)
Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts to measure and monitor them have ...
Woodlot management and livelihoods in a tropical conservation landscape
(Kungl online publication, 2020-12)
In biodiversity hot spots, there is often tension between human needs and conservation, exacerbated when protected areas prevent access to natural resources. Forest-dependent people may compensate for exclusion by ...
Regulated access to wild climbers has enhanced food security and minimized use of plastics by front line households at a premier African protected area
(Institute of Tropical Forest Conservation,, 2020-08)
The amount of food harvested, processed and stored by households determines food availability—a key dimension to food security. In developing countries,front line households around protected areas harvest wild climbers for ...
