Global patterns of regional (gamma) plant diversity are relatively well known, but whether
these patterns hold for local communities, and the dependence on spatial grain, remain …

Tropical forests are being cleared at an accelerating rate, despite being one of the most
important habitats for global biodiversity. Many remaining tropical forest tracts are now …

In this paper, we propose a decision tree algorithm to characterize spatial extent and
spectral features of invasive plant species (ie, guava, Madagascar cardamom, and Molucca …

Urban forestry has the potential to address many urban environmental and sustainability
challenges. Yet in Africa, urban forest characterization and its potential to contribute to …

Ecosystem structures of tropical mountain forests are under threat due to changes in climate
and land-use. The dry tropical montane forest of Munessa-Shashemene in south-east …

Forest models can be useful tools to improve our understanding of forest dynamics and to
evaluate potential impacts of climate change. There is an ongoing debate how drought …

Agricultural landscapes provide financial livelihoods for farming communities in rural areas.
However, such agroenvironments can significantly impact the local floral biodiversity and …

In this paper, grid cell based spatial statistics were used to quantify the drivers of land-cover
and land-use change (LCLUC) and habitat degradation in a tropical rainforest in …

The progressive fragmentation of forest habitat is causing an increase in edge areas that
may differ structurally and in quality from forest interiors. We investigated the impact of edge …
