Abstract: We investigated the interrelations between environmental variables (proxies for water availability and soil physico-chemical properties) and tree community patterns (diversity, composition and structure) along pond-upland topographic gradients within depressional watersheds in the upper Uruguay River… read more here.

Abstract: Forest recovery following management interventions is important to maintain ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services. It remains, however, largely unclear how above‐ground biomass (AGB) recovery of species‐rich tropical forests is affected by disturbance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13549
Abstract: Global change is expected to increase savanna woody encroachment as well as fire spreading into forest. Forest–savanna ecotones are the frontier of these processes and can thus either mitigate or enhance the effects of global… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvs.12781
Abstract: AIM: To understand how variations in precipitation and topographic wetness influence tree community assembly at both regional and landscape scales in tropical forests. LOCATION: New Caledonia (SW Pacific). METHODS: We sampled 40 tree communities in… read more here.
