Open AccessTree diversity and social–ecological resilience of agroforestry after volcanic ash deposition in Indonesia
Smallholder farmers and their agroecosystems in active volcanic landscapes need to deal with and recover from eruptions. Resilience to extreme shocks may increase with system diversity, enhancing food and inco...

Open AccessBalancing litterfall and decomposition in cacao agroforestry systems
Litter protects the underlying soil, depending on litterfall and decomposition, but dynamics of the standing litter stock in agroforestry systems remain poorly understood. We aimed to unravel effects of litter...

Open AccessThe Role and Need for Space-Based Forest Biomass-Related Measurements in Environmental Management and Policy
The achievement of international goals and national commitments related to forest conservation and management, climate change, and sustainable development requires credible, accurate, and reliable monitoring o...

Article
Wet and dry tropical forests show opposite successional pathways in wood density but converge over time
Tropical forests are converted at an alarming rate for agricultural use and pastureland, but also regrow naturally through secondary succession. For successful forest restoration, it is essential to understand...

Legume abundance along successional and rainfall gradients in Neotropical forests
The nutrient demands of regrowing tropical forests are partly satisfied by nitrogen-fixing legume trees, but our understanding of the abundance of those species is biased towards wet tropical regions. Here we ...

Article
Demographic Drivers of Aboveground Biomass Dynamics During Secondary Succession in Neotropical Dry and Wet Forests
The magnitude of the carbon sink in second-growth forests is expected to vary with successional biomass dynamics resulting from tree growth, recruitment, and mortality, and with the effects of climate on these...

Article
Biomass resilience of Neotropical secondary forests
An analysis of above-ground biomass recovery during secondary succession in forest sites and plots, covering the major environmental gradients in the Neotropics.

Open AccessEvaluating the annual nature of juvenile rings in Bolivian tropical rainforest trees
Knowledge on juvenile tree growth is crucial to understand how trees reach the canopy in tropical forests. However, long-term data on juvenile tree growth are usually unavailable. Annual tree rings provide gro...

Open AccessAssessing long-term changes in tropical forest dynamics: a first test using tree-ring analysis
There is growing evidence that tree turnover in tropical forests has increased over the last decades in permanent sample plots. This phenomenon is generally attributed to the increase in atmospheric CO2, but othe...

Open AccessDendroecology in the tropics: a review
Over the last decade the field of tropical dendroecology has developed rapidly and major achievements have been made. We reviewed the advances in three main themes within the field. First, long chronologies fo...

Open AccessLeaf size and leaf display of thirty-eight tropical tree species
Trees forage for light through optimal leaf display. Effective leaf display is determined by metamer traits (i.e., the internode, petiole, and corresponding leaf), and thus these traits strongly co-determine c...
