Estimation of White‐Handed Gibbon Density and Population Size in Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, Western Thailand Open
All 20 gibbon species (Hylobatidae) are listed as Threatened or Endangered on the IUCN Red List. The four species of gibbons occurring in Thailand survive only in well‐protected forests and need to be effectively monitored for conservation…

Lianas exhibit stronger conspecific negative density dependence than trees on tropical seedling survival Open
Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) strongly influences plant demography, especially in highly diverse tropical forests, but its relative importance may vary between growth forms. We used hierarchical Bayesian models to assess h…

Species assemblages and their drivers differ between trees and lianas in a seasonal evergreen forest in Thailand Open
Despite a long tradition in ecology of studying tree species assembly and its potential drivers in tropical forest communities, little information exists with respect to lianas (woody climbers), the second most abundant life form of woody …

Mycorrhizal feedbacks influence global forest structure and diversity Open
One mechanism proposed to explain high species diversity in tropical systems is strong negative conspecific density dependence (CDD), which reduces recruitment of juveniles in proximity to conspecific adult plants. Although evidence shows …

Latitudinal scaling of aggregation with abundance and its consequences for coexistence in species rich forests Open
The search for simple principles underlying the complex spatial structure and dynamics of plant communities is a long-standing challenge in ecology 1-6 . In particular, the relationship between the spatial distribution of plants and specie…

Whole-Plant Seedling Functional Traits Suggest Lianas Also Support “Fast-Slow” Plant Economics Spectrum Open
Lianas are predicted to perform better than trees during seasonal drought among tropical forests, which has substantial implications for tree and forest dynamics. Here, we use whole-plant trait comparison to test whether lianas allocated o…

Seed Size Variation of Trees and Lianas in a Tropical Forest of Southeast Asia: Allometry, Phylogeny, and Seed Trait - Plant Functional Trait Relationships Open
Seed size is a key trait for understanding and predicting ecological processes in a plant community. In a tropical forest, trees and lianas are major components driving ecosystem function and biogeochemical processes. However, seed ecologi…

Growth-Climate Relationships and Long-Term Growth Trends of the Tropical Forest Tree Choerospondias axillaris (Anacardiaceae) in East-Central Thailand Open
Tropical forests play important roles in global carbon cycling. Tree-ring analysis can provide important information for understanding long-term trends in carbon-fixation capacity under climate change. However, tree-ring studies in tropica…

Different responses of soil respiration to environmental factors across forest stages in a Southeast Asian forest Open
Soil respiration (SR) in forests contributes significant carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial ecosystems and is highly sensitive to environmental changes, including soil temperature, soil moisture, microbial community, surface litter,…

The real potential of current passive satellite data to map aboveground biomass in tropical forests Open
Forest biomass estimation at large scale is challenging and generally entails large uncertainty in tropical regions. With their wall‐to‐wall coverage ability, passive remote sensing signals are frequently used to extrapolate field estimate…
