Litter production during secondary succession in tropical wet forest in Mexico
The general problem: During secondary succession after land abandonment in the wet tropics the vegetation recovers rapidly. With biomass building up, the productivity and the biomass cycling also increases. Generally with more  ...

High resolution tree growth responses to extreme drought events
Also possible as MSc internship High resolution tree growth measurements as conducted by dendrometers provide us to study tree responses to extreme climate factors, such as drought, with high temporal resolution. In the Netherl ...

Assessing Drought Impact on Tree Growth: Resilience in the Cerrado Biome
Increasing temperatures and drought stress may change the responses of tropical trees to climatic variability. In the dry woody vegetation of the Cerrado biome in Brazil, these effects are expected to be strong because rainfall is ...

How do Brazilian Cerrado trees respond to droughts?
Increasing temperatures and drought stress may change the responses of tropical trees to climatic variability. In the dry woody vegetation of the Cerrado biome in Brazil, these effects are expected to be strong because rainfall is ...

Drought resistance in Brazilian Cerrado Trees: An assessment of embolism tolerance
Xylem vulnerability to embolism represents an important trait to determine species distribution patterns and drought resistance. The disruption in water transport reduces the plant's capacity to function properly and can lead to  ...

Resilience of old-growth tropical dry forests: assessment and drivers
Also possible as MSc internship Severe droughts associated to El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events are known to have a devastating effect on tropical forest ecosystems in the Americas. High biodiversity is thought to prod ...

How can we trace the origin of tropical timber? A quantitative literature review
Also possible as MSc internship Illegal timber trade is a huge environmental problem, and is often associated with organized crime and deforestation. Legislation to fight illegal timber trade exist, but their enforcement requi ...

Reforesting tropical landscapes: a large-scale demographic study using satellite images in Panama
Also possible as internship. Secondary forest growth has the potential to restore ecosystem functions to millions of hectares of degraded land. As a consequence, forest restoration at the landscape scale has become a conservati ...

Effects of forest management on soil respiration
Forest management has both positive and negative effects on soil processes, resilience and climate change mitigation potential. Therefore long-term monitoring is crucial to confirm which management practices are efficient in incre ...
