DOI: 10.1007/s00248-021-01908-3
Abstract: Oil palm (OP) plantations are gradually replacing tropical rainforest in Malaysia, one of the largest palm oil producers globally. Conversion of lands to OP plantations has been associated with compositional shifts of the microbial community,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12223-017-0575-y
Abstract: Tropical rainforest soils harbor a considerable diversity of soil fauna that contributes to emissions of N2O. Despite their ecological dominance, there is limited information available about the contribution of epigeal ant mounds to N2O emissions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12224-018-9334-3
Abstract: Climbing plants form a substantial component of tropical forest diversity. Climbers are a diverse group comprising various ecological strategies dependent on tree support and are affected by biotic and abiotic forest conditions. In a lowland… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.01.012
Abstract: Termite-mediated decomposition is an important, but often overlooked, component of the carbon cycle. Using a large-scale suppression experiment in Borneo, Griffiths et al. found that termites contribute between 58 and 64% of mass loss from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.01.033
Abstract: Abstract Environmental disturbance generates changes in local abiotic and biotic conditions, which affect the physiological condition of the organisms. However, most of the studies dealing with environmental disturbance have focused only on species diversity, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2020.e01317
Abstract: Abstract Reproductive plant phenology, such as the seasonal timing of flowering or fruiting, influences many aspects of tropical forest communities, but there are few studies examining potential drivers of phenological patterns, especially in south China.… read more here.
