Stand age drives changes in the biodiversity and microclimate of oil palm plantations Open
Tree plantation age strongly dictates its environment. As they mature, the canopy closes and habitat complexity tends to increase, which in turn affects biodiversity. However, for oil palm, one of the most important and widespread tree pla…

Connections to trees in the countryside: exploring public perceptions of agroforestry as a future land management system in England Open
Agroforestry is increasingly recognised as an approach to deliver multi-functional land use and provide a range of ecosystem services. In England, rural agroforestry is an important part of the government’s net-zero strategy. However, the …

Effect of Local and Landscape Variables on Bird Communities in Forest‐Agricultural Mosaics in Northeast Luzon, Philippines Open
Agriculture is one of the major drivers of forest loss and fragmentation in tropical regions. Although typically associated with biodiversity loss, agricultural‐forest mosaics are increasingly recognized as important targets for conservati…

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia Open
Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and acc…

Effectiveness of perches in promoting bird-mediated seed dispersal for natural forest regeneration: a systematic review Open
Background Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) is an increasingly popular cost-effective approach to restore forests for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation. One ANR strategy is the use of perches to attract avian seed …

Estimating Above‐Ground Liana Biomass in Disturbed Australian Tropical Forests Open
Lianas (woody vines) contribute substantially to tropical forest functioning, including carbon cycling, which makes accurate estimates of their biomass essential. Here, we aimed to quantify the contribution of lianas to biomass and stem de…

Restoring riparian habitats for benefits to biodiversity and human livelihoods: a systematic map protocol for riparian restoration approaches in the tropics Open
Background Riparian zones are vital transitional habitats that bridge the gap between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They support elevated levels of biodiversity and provide an array of important regulatory and provisioning ecosystem …

Characterising the Genomic Landscape of Differentiation Between Annual and Perennial Rye Open
Annuality and perenniality represent two different life‐history strategies in plants, and an analysis of genomic differentiation between closely related species of different life histories bears the potential to identify the underlying tar…
View article: Effects of Climate, Soil, Topography and Disturbance on Liana Prevalence
Effects of Climate, Soil, Topography and Disturbance on Liana Prevalence Open
Lianas (woody vines and climbing monocots) are increasing in abundance in many tropical forests with uncertain consequences for forest functioning and recovery following disturbances. At a global scale, these increases are likely driven by…

Selective impacts of subsistence hunting on mammal communities in Manu National Park, Peru Open
Research on impacts of subsistence hunting on habitat use and species communities of forest wildlife is limited. Subsistence hunting of mammals in one of the world's most biodiverse region, Manu National Park, Peru, is considered sustainab…
View article: Lianas associated with continued forest biomass losses following large‐scale disturbances
Lianas associated with continued forest biomass losses following large‐scale disturbances Open
Lianas are important to rainforest ecosystems but often impede tree growth and increase tree mortality and stem damage after disturbances that favor their growth. Understanding how lianas affect biomass recovery and rates of carbon sequest…
View article: Thresholds for adding degraded tropical forest to the conservation estate
Thresholds for adding degraded tropical forest to the conservation estate Open
Logged and disturbed forests are often viewed as degraded and depauperate environments compared with primary forest. However, they are dynamic ecosystems 1 that provide refugia for large amounts of biodiversity 2,3 , so we cannot afford to…
View article: Dynamics of tree stems and biomass in old‐growth and secondary forests along gradients in liana dominance, elevation and soil
Dynamics of tree stems and biomass in old‐growth and secondary forests along gradients in liana dominance, elevation and soil Open
Lianas, or woody vines, are key components of many tropical forests and can have substantial impacts on the dynamics and functioning of these important ecosystems. Their competition with trees for resources, in particular light, can hamper…

Allometric models for liana aboveground biomass in old-growth and secondary tropical forests of Tanzania Open
Lianas are common in tropical forests, where they influence forest dynamics, thus impacting the global carbon sink, with implications for climate change mitigation. Despite their increasing competitiveness with trees at the global scale, r…

Variable responses of individual species to tropical forest degradation Open
The functional stability of ecosystems depends greatly on interspecific differences in responses to environmental perturbation. However, responses to perturbation are not necessarily invariant among populations of the same species, so intr…

Biomass stock and growth are modulated by anthropogenic pressures, canopy structure and tree biodiversity in fragmented Atlantic Rainforest Open
Fragmented landscapes are becoming the norm in tropical regions. Understand how fragmentation can affect the ‘biodiversity-productivity’ relationship is essential to access the biomass budget and understand forest dynamics in these landsca…

Cropland can support high bird diversity in heterogeneous rural tropical landscapes Open
Summary Land-use change for crop production is one of the key drivers of habitat loss and fragmentation and consequently biodiversity loss and change in tropical regions. This may impact biodiversity-regulated ecosystem services; birds are…

Global dominance of lianas over trees is driven by forest disturbance, climate and topography Open
Growing evidence suggests that liana competition with trees is threatening the global carbon sink by slowing the recovery of forests following disturbance. A recent theory based on local and regional evidence further proposes that the comp…
