Abstract

Lowland tropical forest soils are relatively N rich and are the largest global source of N2O (a powerful greenhouse gas) to the atmosphere. Despite the importance of tropical N cycling, there have been few direct measurements of N2 (an inert gas that can serve as an alternate fate for N2O) in ...

AbstractFull Text

Hutan Rimba Alam (HRA), Putrajaya is an urban forest which is the habitat for various tropical rainforest species. A field survey was undertaken to state the floristic composition, investigate the soil characteristics and identify the relationship between the recorded plant communities and soil...

Abstract

With rising temperatures and altered annual precipitation patterns, climatic factors are likely to play an increasingly important role in controlling the biomass accumulation rate of tropical secondary forests. However, the relative importance of biotic and abiotic factors and demographic...

Abstract

Model projections predict tropical forests will experience longer periods of drought and more intense precipitation cycles under a changing climate. Such transitions have implications for structure-function relationships within microbial communities. We examine how throughfall exclusion might...

Abstract

Forest ecosystems play an important role in the global CH4 cycle. Understanding and quantifying the contribution and distribution of CH4 sinks and sources in global forest soils is vital for assessing realistic approaches to climate change mitigation. Here, we compiled a dataset of in situ global ...

Abstract

Tropical peatlands cycle and store large amounts of carbon in their soil and biomass. Climate and land-use change alters greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes of tropical peatlands, but the magnitude of these changes remains highly uncertain. Here we measure net ecosystem exchanges of carbon dioxide, methane ...

Abstract

Tropical peatlands are important carbon stores that are vulnerable to drainage and conversion to agriculture. Protection and restoration of peatlands are increasingly recognised as key nature based solutions that can be implemented as part of climate change mitigation. Identification of peatland...

Abstract

Although (sub)tropical forests account for 10-20% of the atmospheric methane (CH4) uptake by soils, the study of soil CH4 oxidation rates and the controlling factors during the chronosequences of forest succession remains poorly understood. The objectives of this study were to characterize the...

Abstract

Premise: Understanding tree species' responses to drought is critical for predicting the future of tropical forests, especially in regions where the climate is changing rapidly. Methods: We compared anatomical and functional traits of the dominant tree species of two tropical forests in southern...

Abstract

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its sixth assessment report (AR-6) has documented that the atmosphere, ocean, and land have been warmed at an unprecedented rate as per history of last 2000 years. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture and forest soils account for 24% of ...
