Reforestation in Madagascar often relies on a few tree species with known properties. Species selection may consider aspects like human use, growth characteristics and animal use. Here, we investigated the use of kapok (Ceiba pentandra) as food source for vertebrates during dry season North West Madagascar. We observed 21 native vertebrate (five lemurs, five bats 11 birds) feed or within C. pen...

The paper deals with recruitment patterns in larch forests of Mongolia following anthropogenic impacts (felling, fires), and describes successional trends in highland forest communities. It is established that mass seed recruitment of Larix sibirica LEdEb. took place during anomalous combinations of hydrothermal conditions supposedly occurring at periods of about 100 years. During the last deca...

Abstract. Land use and cover have been significantly changed all around the world during last decade. In particular, Grain for Green (GG) program has resulted in significant changes regional land cover, especially China. change (LULCC) may lead to climate. this study, we take Yangtze River basin as a case study analyze impacts of LULCC reforestation on summer rainfall amounts extremes based Wea...

In many tropical regions, national forests plantation programs have been promoted. Those plantations frequently contribute to habitat changes. However, the associated effects of forest on fragmentation and landscape connectivity are unclear. From 2008 2018, we examined land use changes, plantations, deforestation Manabí province (Ecuador) provided by Ecuadorian Ministry Environment. Four scenar...
