Falling palm fronds structure amazonian rainforest sapling communities.
The senescence and loss of photosynthetic and support structures is a nearly universal aspect of tree life history, and can be a major source of disturbance in forest understoreys, but the ability of falling canopy debris in determining the stature and composition of understorey communities seems not to have been documented. In this study, we show that senescent fronds of the palm Iriartea delt...
متن کاملRecovery potential of understory bird communities in Amazonian rainforest fragments
Understory bird communities have been studied in a series of Amazonian rainforest fragments near Manaus, Brazil for about 20 years. Previous analysis of standardized mist-net samples revealed considerable temporal dynamism in capture rates, with communities in fragments responding to growth or cutting of the second growth matrix. This pattern was superimposed on expected fragment size effects a...
متن کاملSapling structure and regeneration strategy in 18 Shorea species co-occurring in a tropical rainforest.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inevitable trade-offs in structure may be a basis for differentiation in plant strategies. Juvenile trees in different functional groups are characterized by specific suites of structural traits such as crown architecture and biomass distribution. The relationship between juvenile tree structure and function was tested to find out if it is robust among functionally and taxon...
متن کاملFrom rainforest to oil palm plantations: Shifts in predator population and prey communities, but resistant interactions
Anthropogenic habitat change can dramatically alter biotic communities in tropical landscapes. Species that persist in human dominated landscapes are therefore likely to modify the way they interact. Although human impacts on community composition are relatively well studied, changes in species interactions are lesswell documented. Herewe assess how logging of rainforest and conversion to oil p...
متن کاملSeaWinds Beam and Slice Balance using data over Amazonian Rainforest
where P, is transmitted power, L denotes system losses, h is wavelength of transmitted radiation, G(x,y) is antenna gain at the point (x,y), F(x,y) is Doppler gain at (x,y), R(x,y) is slant range from antenna to the illuminated point (x,y), and d A is infinitesimal rectangular area drdy centered around (x,y). In the d computation, integration is approximated by the pre-calculated calibration fa...
