Nearly every aspect of the cloud forest is affected by regular cloud immersion, from the
hydrological cycle to the species of plants and animals within the forest. Since the altitude …

We summarize the foundational elements of a new area of research we call soundscape
ecology. The study of sound in landscapes is based on an understanding of how sound …

Microbial communities and their associated enzyme activities affect the amount and
chemical quality of carbon (C) in soils. Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition, particularly in N …

We measured soil oxygen concentrations at 10 and 35 cm depths and indices of
biogeochemical cycling in upland forest soils along a rainfall and elevation gradient (3500 …

The decomposition of plant residues is influenced by their chemical composition, the
physical–chemical environment, and the decomposer organisms. Most studies interested in …

Conservation of threatened species relies on predictions about their spatial distribution;
however, it is often difficult to detect species in the wild. The combination of acoustic …

Extending an earlier review of the literature (Bruijnzeel and Proctor, 1995), this paper
incorporates the results obtained by post-1993 hydrological and hydrometeorological …

Sources of forest regeneration (soil seed bank, seed rain) and barriers to seedling
establishment were examined in a recently abandoned pasture in eastern Puerto Rico. Few …

Nitrogen (N) deposition is projected to increase significantly in tropical regions in the coming
decades, where changes in climate are also expected. Additional N and warming each have …
