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 ...

How did the megafaunal collapse in South America affect tree species composition?
Also possible as Internship
At the end of the Pleistocene, around 12,000 y ago, many large animal species went extinct in South America. Although the causes of this big extinction event remain debated, it likely had great cons ...

How do liana functional traits shape liana niches?
Lianas are important component of forest ecosystems, compete with trees, and have a large negative impact on tree diversity and performance, and carbon storage sequestration of the forest.
However, little is known about how liana ...
