Identifying Priority Areas for Conservation and Management in Diverse Tropical Forests
The high concentration of the world's species in tropical forests endows these systems with particular importance for retaining global biodiversity, yet it also presents significant challenges for ecology and conservation science. The vast number of rare and yet to be discovered species restricts the applicability of species-level modelling for tropical forests, while the capacity of community ...
متن کاملDetermination Of Sustainable Management Of Natural Tropical Forests Using SYMFOR Modelling Framework
A permanent sample plot (PSP) data set was enumerated from primary forest in Jambi province, Indonesia. No silvicultural treatment (harvesting, thinning, poisoning) was applied to the plot during the period in which measurements were taken. The data set including individual tree information such as tree identity, diameter and position within the plot, was input into the Sustainable Yield Manage...
متن کاملChange in Phylogenetic Community Structure during Succession of Traditionally Managed Tropical Rainforest in Southwest China
Tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia are facing increasing and ever more intense human disturbance that often negatively affects biodiversity. The aim of this study was to determine how tree species phylogenetic diversity is affected by traditional forest management types and to understand the change in community phylogenetic structure during succession. Four types of forests with different m...
متن کاملInvestigating the missing data effect on credit scoring rule based models: The case of an Iranian bank
Credit risk management is a process in which banks estimate probability of default (PD) for each loan applicant. Data sets of previous loan applicants are built by gathering their data, and these internal data sets are usually completed using external credit bureau’s data and finally used for estimating PD in banks. There is also a continuous interest for bank to use rule based classifiers to b...
متن کاملWhy are there so many species of herbivorous insects in tropical rainforests?
Despite recent progress in understanding mechanisms of tree species coexistence in tropical forests, a simple explanation for the even more extensive diversity of insects feeding on these plants has been missing. We compared folivorous insects from temperate and tropical trees to test the hypothesis that herbivore species coexistence in more diverse communities could reflect narrow host specifi...
