TC Theimer, CA Gehring, PT Green… - Ecology, 2011 - Eco Soc America Although birds and mammals play important roles in several mechanisms hypothesized to maintain plant diversity in species-rich habitats, there have been few long-term, community-level tests of their importance. We excluded terrestrial birds and mammals from fourteen 6 × 7.5 m ...
ML Clark, DA Roberts, JJ Ewel… - Remote Sensing of …, 2011 - Elsevier Tropical forests are an important component of the global carbon balance, yet there is considerable uncertainty in estimates of their carbon stocks and fluxes, which are typically estimated through analysis of aboveground biomass in field plots. Remote sensing technology is critical for ...

Especially in speciose biomes as tropical rain forests and/or in hyperdiverse or understudied taxa they may efficiently complement morphological approaches. The ...
