Deforestation and fragmentation are major components of global change; both are
contributing to the rapid loss of tropical forest area with important implications for ecosystem …

The present investigation evaluates the accuracy of estimating above-ground biomass
(AGB) by means of two different sensors installed onboard an unmanned aerial vehicle …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous to most natural and anthropized
ecosystems, and are often found in polluted environments. However, their occurrence and …

A reliable estimation of Above Ground Biomass (AGB) in Tropical Mountain Forest (TMF) is
still complicated, due to fast-changing climate and topographic conditions, which modifies …

The long-term survival of Andean forest landscapes (AFL) and of their capacity to contribute
to sustainable development in a context of global change requires integrated adaptation and …

Aims Deforestation and biodiversity loss are two alarming, closely related problems, and the
main factors triggering changes in land use. Indigenous agricultural practices in the western …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most prominent mycobionts of plants in the
tropics, yet little is known about their diversity, species compositions and factors driving AMF …

abstract Biotic interactions play an important role in the assembly and stability of
communities. All orchids depend on mycobionts for early establishment, but whether …

Seedling recruitment is a key process of plant regeneration that often depends on plant
functional traits, such as seed size. To optimize forest restoration efforts, we need to better …

Natural forest ecosystems play an essential role in the conservation of biodiversity of many
plants and animals by providing them with habitat and suitable environments. Studies have …
