DOI: 10.1007/s11676-020-01207-6
Abstract: The canopy of subtropical natural forests usually consists of several co-dominant populations (CDPs), which play a crucial role in forest structure, formation of the forest environment, and ecological function. However, little attention has been given… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.03.006
Abstract: Secondary forests are promoted as having pivotal roles in reversing the tropical extinction crisis. While secondary forests recover carbon and species over time, a key question is whether phylogenetic diversity—the total evolutionary history across all… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.09.028
Abstract: Abstract Response diversity, defined as the variable responses of species to environmental change, has been proposed as a key determinant of ecosystem resilience. We test this hypothesis along a tropical dry forest successional chronosequence that provides… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118236
Abstract: Abstract High deforestation rates, especially in the tropics, currently result in the annual emission of large amounts of carbon, contributing to global climate change. There is therefore an urgent need to take actions to mitigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118389
Abstract: Abstract The Atlantic forest of Brazil is a biodiversity hotspot that retains less than 12% of its original area. In this biome, non-pioneer tree species with limited dispersal are the most impacted by recent habitat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22050-1
Abstract: Tropical secondary forests sequester carbon up to 20 times faster than old-growth forests. This rate does not capture spatial regrowth patterns due to environmental and disturbance drivers. Here we quantify the influence of such drivers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12492
Abstract: Ecological studies conducted on lucanids in Asia are limited, resulting in considerable knowledge gaps in the fundamental ecology of these charismatic species (e.g. larval substrate associations), despite their potential importance in wood decomposition. We conducted… read more here.
