Most-cited papers in Journal of Tropical Ecology

Tropical secondary forests

Sandra Brown, Ariel E. Lugo · 1 Feb 1990

ABSTRACT The literature on tropical secondary forests, defined as those resulting from human disturbance (e.g. logged forests and forest fallows), is reviewed to address questions related to their extent, rates of formation, ecological characteristics, values and uses to humans, and potential for management. Secondary forests are extensive in the tropics, accounting for about 40% of…

Effects of isolation on the water status of forest patches in the Brazilian Amazon

Valerie Kapos · 1 May 1989

ABSTRACT Patterns of edge-related environmental changes and plant water relations were investigated in the isolated forest reserves of the INPA-WWF Minimum Critical Size of Eco-systems project near Manaus, Brazil early in the wet season. Air temperature was elevated and humidity reduced in the understorey within 40 m of the reserve margins, and air temperature and…

Common allometric equations for estimating the tree weight of mangroves

Akira Komiyama, Sasitorn Poungparn, Shogo Kato · 27 Jun 2005

Inventory data on tree weights of 104 individual trees representing 10 mangrove species were collected from mangrove forests in South-East Asia to establish common allometric equations for the trunk, leaf, above-ground and root weight. We used the measurable tree dimensions, such as dbh (trunk diameter at breast height), D R0.3 (trunk diameter at 30 cm…

Fire as a large-scale edge effect in Amazonian forests

Mark A. Cochrane, William F. Laurance · 26 Mar 2002

Amazonian forests are being rapidly cleared, and the remaining forest fragments appear unusually vulnerable to fire. This occurs because forest remnants have dry, fire-prone edges, are juxtaposed with frequently burned pastures, and are often degraded by selective logging, which increases forest desiccation and fuel loading. Here we demonstrate that in eastern Amazonia, fires are operating…
