Secondary tropical forests that are in a state of regeneration following clearing for agriculture
are now more abundant than primary forests. Yet, despite their large spatial extent and …

Land use change from forests to grazing lands is one of the important sources of
greenhouse gas emissions in many parts of the tropics. The objective of this study was to …

Livestock production in the tropics contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas
emissions, so better understanding the role of silvopastoral systems (SPS) in mitigating such …

Agroforestry systems in the tropics exhibit high heterogeneity in plant species composition
and structural configuration. However, few studies evaluated the seasonal shift in arthropod …

Background This study aimed to determine the influence of soil traits, vegetation structure
and climate on litterfall dynamics along a successional gradient in a tropical dry forest (TDF) …

Hyperspectral remote sensing technology can be used to monitor the soil nutrient changes
in a rapid, real-time, and non-destructive manner, which is of great significance to promote …

Agroforestry practices that include trees on grazing lands could enhance atmospheric CO2
sequestration and storage. However, carbon sequestration rates and storage capacity of …

Wood decomposition in tropical forests is strongly linked to the terrestrial carbon cycle. Our
understanding of the successional changes in wood decomposition in diverse tropical …

Secondary forests recovering after disturbances currently comprise about half of the world′
s tropical forests. A better understanding of the recovery of species composition, stand …

Tropical peat swamp degradation can modify net peat greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
even without drainage. However, current Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change …
