Wind disturbance is an important ecological force in the tropics, especially in the cyclonic
and hurricane zones from about 7–20° latitude. Damage from intense winds may be …

In tropical forests, lianas (woody vines) are important structural parasites of trees. We
assessed the effects of forest fragmentation, treefall disturbance, soils, and stand attributes …

The effects of habitat fragmentation on diverse tropical tree communities are poorly
understood. Over a 20‐year period we monitored the density of 52 tree species in nine …

In the tropics, habitat fragmentation alters forest–climate interactions in diverse ways. On a
local scale (less than 1 km), elevated desiccation and wind disturbance near fragment …

Land use leads to massive habitat destruction and fragmentation in tropical forests. Despite
its global dimensions the effects of fragmentation on ecosystem dynamics are not well …

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar diferenças na estrutura fisionômica, na diversidade
de espécies e na composição de guildas da comunidade arbórea de setores de um …

Three fragmented rain forests and one primary forest in southern Yunnan were plotted. The
microclimate and soil conditions of these forests were also studied. The following …

Rainforest fragments in central Amazonia have been found to experience a marked loss of
above-ground biomass caused by sharply increased rates of tree mortality and damage …

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a composição florística ea estrutura do
componente arbóreo de um fragmento de Floresta Ombrófila Mista Montana e avaliar a …

Realizou-se um estudo das variações florísticas e estruturais da comunidade arbórea em
um fragmento de Floresta Estacional Semidecídua situado às margens do rio Capivari, em …
