Spatial Patterns in the Distribution of Tropical Tree Species

Richard Condit, +14 more
- 26 May 2000 - 
TL;DR: The degree of aggregation in the distribution of 1768 tree species is examined based on the average density of conspecific trees in circular neighborhoods around each tree, and it is found that nearly every species was more aggregated than a random distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas

William F. Laurance, +216 more
- 13 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.
Journal ArticleDOI

The conservation status of the world's reptiles

Monika Böhm, +243 more
- 31 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: The results provide the first analysis of the global conservation status and distribution patterns of reptiles and the threats affecting them, highlighting conservation priorities and knowledge gaps which need to be addressed urgently to ensure the continued survival of the world’s reptiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rate of tree carbon accumulation increases continuously with tree size.

Nathan L. Stephenson, +37 more
- 06 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: A global analysis of 403 tropical and temperate tree species shows that for most species mass growth rate increases continuously with tree size, which means large, old trees do not act simply as senescent carbon reservoirs but actively fix large amounts of carbon compared to smaller trees.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disturbance history and historical stand dynamics of a seasonal tropical forest in western thailand

Patrick J. Baker, +5 more
- 01 Feb 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of direct and indirect methods was used to reconstruct the his- torical disturbance regime and stand development patterns in mature and regenerating seasonal dry evergreen forest (SDEF) in the Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in western Thailand.
