Understorey bird responses to the edge-interior gradient in an isolated tropical rainforest of Malaysia
Forest fragmentation results in a loss of forest interior and an increase in edge habitat. We studied how understorey bird community composition and habitat variables changed along an edge-to-interior gradient in a 1248-ha lowland rainforest patch in peninsular Malaysia. Birds and environmental variables such as vegetation structure and litter depth were detected within a 25-m radius of each of...
متن کاملFunction of blue iridescence in tropical understorey plants.
The blue colouration seen in the leaves of Selaginella willdenowii is shown to be iridescent. Transmission electron microscopy studies confirm the presence of a layered lamellar structure of the upper cuticle of iridescent leaves. Modelling of these multi-layer structures suggests that they are responsible for the blue iridescence, confirming the link between the observed lamellae and the recor...

متن کاملNematode Genera in Forest Soil Respond Differentially to Elevated CO2.
Previous reports suggest that fungivorous nematodes are the only trophic group in forest soils affected by elevated CO2. However, there can be ambiguity within trophic groups, and we examined data at a genus level to determine whether the conclusion remains similar. Nematodes were extracted from roots and soil of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) forests fumiga...
متن کاملPredicting Ecosystem Responses to Elevated CO2 Concentrations
O ne of the many changes occurring in the biosphere due . to human activities is the increase in the carbon dioxide concentration of the atmosphere. This change is due both to the burning of fossil fuels, which is ejecting approximately 5-6 gT of carbon into the atmosphere yearly, and to deforestation, which may account for another 1~2 gT (Moore and Bolin 1986/87, Detwiler and Hall 1988). The p...
