DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2532
Abstract: Soil nutrients influence the distribution of tree species in lowland tropical forests, but their effect on productivity, especially at local scales, remains unclear. We used tree census, canopy occupancy, and soil data from the Barro… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0193-1
Abstract: Primary tropical rainforests are generally considered to be relatively nitrogen (N) rich, with characteristically large hydrologic and gaseous losses of inorganic N. However, emerging evidence suggests that some tropical ecosystems can exhibit tight N cycling,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.03.045
Abstract: Abstract The effects of selective logging on canopy height were studied in a lowland tropical rain forest in Pasoh Forest Reserve, Peninsular Malaysia. Canopy height was measured in 2003 and 2011 by using an airborne… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2017.01828
Abstract: The role that mycorrhizal fungal associations play in the assembly of long-lived tree communities is poorly understood, especially in tropical forests, which have the highest tree diversity of any ecosystem. The lowland tropical rain forests… read more here.
