DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22971
Abstract: Almost all primates experience seasonal fluctuations in the availability of key food sources. However, the degree to which this fluctuation impacts foraging behavior varies considerably. Eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10533-017-0386-x
Abstract: To assess the susceptibility of the base metal budget of a remote tropical montane forest in Ecuador to environmental change, we determined the extent of biological control of base metal fluxes and explored the impact… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14800
Abstract: Dust provides ecosystem-sustaining nutrients to landscapes underlain by intensively weathered soils. Here we show that dust may also be crucial in montane forest ecosystems, dominating nutrient budgets despite continuous replacement of depleted soils with fresh… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10549811.2020.1841005
Abstract: ABSTRACT Successful plant recruitment is crucial for maintaining forest ecosystems, but knowledge of the responses of early life stages of tropical montane tree species to complex environmental factors is still limited across the Himalayas. Vegetation… read more here.

Montane forest expansion at high elevations drives rapid reduction in non‐forest area, despite no change in mean forest elevation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Biogeography"
DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13951
Abstract: At the elevational limit of forest distribution, montane forests show diverse responses to environmental change with upward shifts, increased tree density and lateral expansion reported. To enable informed analysis of the consequences forest advance will… read more here.

Long-Term Vegetation Dynamics in a Megadiverse Hotspot: The Ice-Age Record of a Pre-montane Forest of Central Ecuador
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Frontiers in Plant Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2018.00196
Abstract: Tropical ecosystems play a key role in many aspects of Earth system dynamics currently of global concern, including carbon sequestration and biodiversity. To accurately understand complex tropical systems it is necessary to parameterise key ecological… read more here.
