DOI: 10.1007/s10841-021-00317-8
Abstract: Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are among the most vulnerable ecosystems to chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CAD) such as agriculture, livestock and exploitation of wood and non-timber forest products which can negatively affect the local biota.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2021.109083
Abstract: Abstract Increasing evidence indicates that distribution of Neotropical seasonally dry forests (NSDFs) and the survival of the species and communities that inhabit them have been negatively affected by land-use modifications and global climate change (GCC).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dendro.2019.04.008
Abstract: Abstract Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) currently occupy only 10% of the original area of their natural distribution. In the Maranon river valley, north western of Peru, occurs one of the most important SDTF of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.03.014
Abstract: The propagation in nurseries of native plant species potentially useful for agroforestry, silvopastoral and restoration programs is hindered by an inadequate supply of high quality seed. Limitations in our knowledge on the phenological patterns of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.funeco.2017.04.005
Abstract: Abstract Macromycetes are important for ecosystem functioning due to their role in the nutrient cycling, and their function as pathogens and mutualists. Diversity metrics based on functional traits are robust predictors of ecosystem functionality since… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2019.e00669
Abstract: Abstract Seasonally dry forest with a deciduous canopy is a widespread ecosystem in Southeast Asia. Debate continues about whether this vegetation is forest or savanna. Savannas have tree cover 70%, C3-dominated ground vegetation, and infrequent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2017.07.016
Abstract: Abstract Regeneration by seed is scarce in seasonally dry mountain forests; in these areas, shrub-grass patches intermingled with remnant trees are widespread due to anthropogenic fires and post-fire livestock grazing. We hypothesized that progeny performance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mambio.2018.11.001
Abstract: Small, isolated, and disturbed forest fragments potentially offer valuable habitats for small carnivore conservation. Yet the influence of resource availability—critical for survival and reproduction—on small carnivore habitat use within these modified environments is poorly understood.… read more here.
