Journal ArticleDOI
Forest biodiversity and its assessment by remote sensing
John L. Innes,Barbara Koch +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of the use of remote sensing techniques for the assessment of forest biodiversity and its structural attributes, such as the relative proportion of matrix and patches and their physical arrangement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion in tropical biomass fires: a critical review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of fire ecology in the tropics is presented, focusing on natural and anthropogenic ignition sources, the processes of ignition, the stages of combustion, combustion efficiency, fuel type, fuel flammability, fuel preparation, fuel loading and oxygenation of the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gaps and forest zones in tropical moist forest in Ivory Coast.
TL;DR: Though modes of gap formation differed between the sites, they resulted in similar gap size distributions, and the differences in abiotic and biotic characteristics of the forest zones do not result in a clearly different gap regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of topography on rainforest tree community structure and diversity in American Samoa, and implications for frugivore and nectarivore populations
TL;DR: The spatial variation of rainforest tree community structure and composition was investigated to determine if forest structure and diversity varied as a function of topography; and in turn if this could influence patterns of habitat use by native forest birds and pteropodid bats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canopy tree mode of death in a western Ecuadorian rain forest
Neil Gale,Anders S. Barfod +1 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that the predominance of uprooting and snapping in Hoja Blanca mostly resulted from the steep terrain and high precipitation as well as El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) downpours and the different modes created different types of gaps and could thereby influence forest regeneration.

Dominance and Diversity in Land Plant Communities: Numerical relations of species express the importance of competition in community function and evolution
TL;DR: Curves of decreasing productivity connect the few most important species with a larger number of species of intermediate importance and a smaller number of rare species, believed to express different patterns of competition and niche differentiation in communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Relationships of the Structural Types of Australian Rain Forest Vegetation
TL;DR: The high correlation demonstrated between the structural types and the climatic and edaphic factors enables the identificatin of habitat types which are defined by limits of mean annual temperature and rainfall, and soil mineral status and soil drainage.

Spatial pattern of trees in kerangas forest, Sarawak
TL;DR: In this article, the 64 most abundant species (≥10 cm dbh) in a 400×480 m plot of predominantly kerangas forest in Sarawak were individually investigated for two-dimensional pattern by spectral analysis using the basal areas of trees in 20×20 m contiguous quadrats.
