Temporal changes of forest species composition studied by compositional data approach

Directional changes in the species composition of a tropical forest.

Long-term studies have revealed that the structure and dynamics of many tropical forests are changing, but the causes and consequences of these changes remain debated. To learn more about the forces driving changes within tropical forests, we investigated shifts in tree species composition over the past 25 years within the 50-ha Forest Dynamics Plot on Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama, and e...

Long-term changes in forest structure and species composition of an upland oak forest in Arkansas

Describing long-term dynamics in oak stands is hindered by a lack of archival data. In this study, archival data from the 1934 inventory of a 673ha area within the Sylamore Experimental Forest were compared to a recent 2002 inventory to quantify changes in forest structure and species composition of this upland oak forest in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. When established in 1934, the Sylamor...

Changes in Forest Composition And

Fragmentation of tropical forests affects the viability of primate populations worldwide. A recent assessment of habitat loss in Latin America has estimated that 9.7% of extant forest was lost between 1980 and 1995 (Chapman and Peres, 2001). Forest fragmentation has many causes (e.g., human encroachment for settlements, agricultural practices, logging, and flooding, Alvarez et al., 1986; Cosson...

Data on fatty acid profiles of green Spanish-style Gordal table olives studied by compositional analysis

This article contains processed data related to the research published in "Tentative application of compositional data analysis to fatty acid profiles of green Spanish-style Gordal table olives" (Garrido-Fernández et al., 2018) [1]. It provides information on the implementation of compositional data analysis (CoDa) to the fatty acid profiles of Spanish-style Gordal table olives vs the use of co...
