Abstract Logged and disturbed forests are often viewed as degraded depauperate environments compared with primary forest. However, they dynamic ecosystems 1 that provide refugia for large amounts of biodiversity 2,3 , so we cannot afford to underestimate their conservation value 4 . Here present empirically defined thresholds categorizing the logged forests, using one most comprehensive assessments taxon responses habitat degradation in any tropical forest environment. We analysed impact...
Abstract The functional stability of ecosystems depends greatly on interspecific differences in responses to environmental perturbation. However, perturbation are not necessarily invariant among populations the same species, so intraspecific variation might also contribute. Such inter-population response diversity has recently been shown occur spatially across species ranges, but we lack estimates extent which individual an entire community have that vary through time. We assess this using...
Abstract Lianas are important to rainforest ecosystems but often impede tree growth and increase mortality stem damage after disturbances that favor their growth. Understanding how lianas affect biomass recovery rates of carbon sequestration following disturbance is therefore crucial importance. In this study, we determine a tropical forest recovers large‐scale disturbance, test varies with liana dominance damage. We use remote sensing methods develop model, validated by field data from 40...
Lianas (woody vines and climbing monocots) are increasing in abundance many tropical forests with uncertain consequences for forest functioning recovery following disturbances. At a global scale, these increases likely driven by disturbances climate change. Yet, our understanding of the environmental variables that drive liana prevalence at regional scales is incomplete geographically biased towards Latin America. To address this gap, we present comprehensive study evaluating combined...
Regulated Release TM (RR) is a patented liquid feed technology designed to reduce costs associated with protein supplementation. By causing the rate of ammonia release mimic that protein, through complexing urea and sugars, RR allows act as cost-effective source. However molasses used carrier it difficult demonstrate efficacy this using standard evaluation methodologies such artificial fibre bag technique Ørskov et al. (1980). Reading Pressure Technique (RPT, Mauricio , 1999) can evaluate...
