Do Epigeal Termite Mounds Increase the Diversity of Plant Habitats in a Tropical Rain Forest in Peninsular Malaysia?
The extent to which environmental heterogeneity can account for tree species coexistence in diverse ecosystems, such as tropical rainforests, is hotly debated, although the importance of spatial variability in contributing to species co-existence is well recognized. Termites contribute to the micro-topographical and nutrient spatial heterogeneity of tropical forests. We therefore investigated w...
متن کاملFactors Limiting Tropical Rain Forest Regeneration in Abandoned Pasture: Seed Rain, Seed Germination, Microclimate, and Soil
Vegetation, seed rain, seed germination, microclimate, and soil physical and chemical parameters were measured in a recently abandoned pasture and adjacent primary rain forest in southern Costa Rica. The goal of this study was to assess the importance of these factors in limiting forest regeneration in abandoned pastures. Seed rain of animal dispersed species decreased dramatically in the pastu...
متن کاملEffects of future crop tree flagging and skid trail planning on conventional diameter-limit logging in a Bolivian tropical forest
Sustainable natural forest management initiatives in the lowland tropical forests of Bolivia require that cost-effective measures be identified to help maintain timber stand quality and reduce damage to advance regeneration during logging operations. This study considered the potential costs and benefits of including two ‘best’ management practices the pre harvest flagging of future crop trees ...
متن کاملThe tropical rain forest: a nonrenewable resource.
On the other hand, it has often been stated that the tropical rain forests (tall evergreen forests in tropical warm and humid regions) around the world must be protected and conserved for the future generations (1). It has also been stated that it is most important that knowledge about the structure, diversity, and function of these ecosystems has priority in future biological research (2). Unf...
