The relationship between leaf area index and microclimate in tropical forest and oil palm plantation: forest disturbance drives changes in microclimate.
TL;DR: There were strong relationships between leaf area index and diurnal climate and forest disturbance led to desiccation of the air near the forest floor.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The SAFE Project represents an opportunity for ecologists across disciplines to participate in a large initiative designed to generate a broad understanding of the ecological impacts of tropical forest modification.

TL;DR: By intelligent manipulation of habitat complexity, it could be possible to enhance not only the number of species that can live in oil palm plantations but also their contribution to the healthy functioning of this exceptionally important and widespread landscape.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of habitat complexity on the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem processes within the oil palm habitat itself and found that both landscape and local complexity can have positive impacts on biodiversity.
