Abstract:
Tropical cyclones, which are frequent along the north-eastern Australian coast, can result in severe disturbances to rain forests in the region (Grove et al. 2000, Webb 1958). Branch breakages and tree falls result in high levels of light penetration to the forest floor, which is normally heavily shaded (Turton 1992). This change in microclimate stimulates the growth of normally suppressed seedlings, the germination of seeds that are triggered by sunlight (Chazdon 1988), and often, invasion by weeds. Fragmented rain forests, that are common in the region, are particularly vulnerable to impacts of cyclones because of their large edge to forest area ratio. Appropriate management of such rain forests, following catastrophic disturbance, requires a thorough understanding of recovery processes at a number of temporal and spatial scales (Grove et al. 2000).

Abstract:
The diversity of angiosperms in primitive families, which occur in the Wet Tropics of Queensland, is frequently cited as evidence of the ancient nature of the Australian rain forests, but appears to be based on flawed taxonomic assumptions. We point out the error of identifying species as being primitive rather than representing families with ancient origins, list the families from near-basal lineages using a current molecular phylogeny, and compare their diversity with other areas of rain forest in Australia, and with other tropical areas in the Pacific. Twenty-eight dicot families below the eudicot clade may be regarded as near-basal; 16 of these are present in rain forest habitat in the Wet Tropics. The diversity of near-basal families, and of the species and endemics within these families, is similar in New Caledonia, and the family diversity similar to Costa Rica. We suggest that these data are consistent with other evidence that rain forest has persisted on the Australian continent for a long time, and that the role of Australian rain forests in harbouring a significant near-basal component has been underestimated. We also suggest that ongoing management might be focussed at conserving the evolutionary history present in the near-basal lineages, especially in the face of changing climatic patterns.

Abstract:
Mathematical models predict that a nuclear war could cause widespread reductions in light intensity and temperature. To assess the possible impact of these reductions on lowland tropical rain-forests, we exposed seedlings of three species of the family Moraceae to various combinations of day and night conditions under reduced light. The species represent three stages in tropical rain-forest succession: Cecropia obtusifolia is an early-successional pioneer, Trichospermum mexicanum is a mid-successional tree, and Brosimum alicastrum is a late-successional tree of mature-phase forests.

Abstract:
Understanding the causes of savanna–forest dynamics is vital as small but widespread changes in the extent of tropical forests can have major impacts on global climate, biodiversity and human well-being. Comparison of aerial photographs for 50 rain-forest patches in Kakadu National Park had previously revealed a landscape-wide monotonic expansion of rain-forest boundaries between 1964 and 2004. Here floristic, structural, environmental and disturbance attributes of the changes were investigated by sampling 588 plots across 30 rain-forest patches. Areas that had changed from savanna to rain forest were associated with a significantly higher abundance of rain-forest trees and less grasses, relative to stable savanna areas. Ordination analyses showed that overall floristic composition was not significantly different between newly established rain forest and longer established rain forest. Generalized linear models also indicated that contemporary levels of disturbance (fire and feral animal impact) and environmental variables (slope and soil texture) were poor predictors of historical vegetation change. We concluded that (1) the rain-forest boundaries are highly dynamic at the decadal scale; (2) rain-forest expansion is consistent with having been driven by global environmental change phenomena such as increases in rainfall and atmospheric CO2; and (3) expansion will continue if current climatic trends and management conditions persist.

Abstract:
This paper reviewing plant population ecology studies that have done in Mexican tropical rain forests, particularly at the Los Tuxtlas Tropical Field Station (UNAM). The review considers next topics: (i) population structure and demographic patterns, (ii) population dynamics, (iii) life-history evolution, and (iv) the importance of demography and genetics for conservation and management of tropical rain forest plant products. The studies show an important advance in the description of patterns, in the analysis of population dynamics, and in the detection of some key demographic elements that can be important for forest conservation and management. However, the understanding of causes that originate such patterns and dynamics is yet poor. The studies have focused mainly on abundant arboreal plant species; other plant life-forms and rare species have received virtually null attention. After pointing out conclusions gained from our review, we propose some perspectives for future research.

Abstract:
This PhD by Publication traces through 13 of my publications on economic incentives for forest management and conservation in tropical countries (with a regional bias towards Latin America), including several papers focused on participatory forest management or community-based conservation. The papers show how my thinking has evolved from a focus on market and nonmarket incentives, to an increasing emphasis on governance and regulatory incentives in explaining stakeholder behaviour to the forest resource, as well as the equity impacts. They reveal that positive incentives and win-win (environmental and poverty reduction) outcomes will only emerge when the underlying market, policy and institutional failures are tackled. Because of their public good values, the survival of tropical forests is contingent on the actions of the international community and governments. Sustainable forestry, therefore, depends on a combination of domestic governance progress to control illegal logging and the rent-seeking powers of vested interest groups, global governance regulations which create markets for environmental services, secure property rights for resident stakeholders and extra-sectoral policies that moderate land use opportunity costs. The current main hope for tropical forests is 'avoided deforestation' since this will need to tackle the forest governance problems and underlying multi-sectoral drivers of deforestation if it is to be successful. It represents a balanced market (payments for ecosystem services) and supply-side (improved governance) response to what is essentially a 'public goods' management problem, but will need to overcome some major political economy challenges.

Abstract:
Genetic variation in Calamus subinermis was investigated in a provenance cum progeny trial and a study on some quantitative morphological traits. These studies show that variation occurs within and among populations of the species. Genetic gain was estimated for provenance and family selection at a range of selection intensity based on some economic traits. A karyomorphological study on C. subinermis and C. caesius reveals little variation in the chromosome morphology between and within species. The flowering and fruiting phenology of C. subinermis, C. caesius, C. manan and C. trachycoleus was elucidated. Except for the relatively opportunistic C. subinermis, in which floral initiation occurred at about four-month intervals, flowering and fruiting of the Calamus species investigated exhibited a regular annual pattern. Unravelling of the pollination mechanism and floral biology of C. subinermis and C. caesius in this project enables understanding of the breeding system and is important in breeding programmes. Pollination mainly by small noctuid and pyralid moths, which have small foraging ranges, partly accounts for the observed divergence among geographically isolated populations of C. subinermis. The discovery of andromonoecy in C. subinermis, together with the potential bisexuality in the other generally dioecious calamoid genera, calls for modification in the present system of classification for the tribe Calameae, and has implications for natural and artificial pollination. Several rattan mensuration techniques were developed. Growth and yield models based on the Richards function were constructed for C. caesius. These techniques and models will contribute to the conservation with wise use of rattan resources. Recommendations for further research are given for attaining the goal of the project.

Abstract:
The widespread threat of species extinctions caused by the destruction and degradation of tropical primary forest (PF) could potentially be mitigated by the expansion of regenerating secondary forest (SF). However, the conservation value of SF remains controversial, and is dependent on many site- and landscape-scale factors, such as habitat age and isolation. The aim of this thesis was to assess the role that SF can play in conserving forest bird communities in central Panama. We study a chronosequence of SF aged 20 – 120-years-old, with sites either isolated from or connected to extensive PF. Our results suggest that SF supports high levels of avian species diversity, and similar community composition to PF. Whilst forest age plays a small role in determining compositional similarity to PF, connectivity to extensive PF was the main determinant of community composition. However, despite high species richness and complex community composition, some specialist PF bird species were consistently absent from SF, and isolated PF. The functional diversity of bird communities did not vary substantially across the forest age and isolation gradient, although we did find some inter-guild differences; with distinct responses in communities of avian insectivores and frugivores. Isolation caused shifts in the trophic traits of insectivores, but resulted in alterations in the dispersal traits of frugivores. The response of bird and tree community composition to forest age and isolation was similar, although isolation had a stronger impact on bird communities. Bird diversity and composition tracked changes in forest structure over succession. When examining the role of birds in seed-dispersal networks, we found bird gape width was the key predictor of seed size consumed. Large-gaped birds consume a wider variety of seed-sizes than small-gaped birds, and small-seeded trees attract a greater number of bird species than large-seeded trees. These results imply high levels of redundancy among small-gaped avian frugivores and small-seeded plant species, but low levels of redundancy among large-seeded plant species and their avian dispersers. This suggests that large-seeded plants may be most at risk of dispersal failure following any change in avian frugivore assemblages. Together, these results suggest that SF can play a key role in sustaining most tropical biodiversity, and in maintaining ecosystem services. Our findings emphasise the importance of integrating SF into conservation strategies to support and buffer tropical PF habitats.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Globally, tropical rainforests are noted for their high biodiversity and key roles in carbon storage and influence on climate. Nevertheless, tropical deforestation in many parts of the world continues at an alarming rate. In Papua New Guinea (PNG), tropical rainforest is relatively well maintained, with about 70 % of the land area still covered by primary forest. However, PNG's native forests are coming under increasing pressure, particularly from selective logging for high quality timber. While the forests of PNG, and more broadly the entire New Guinea Island, are recognised as of high conservation and ecological significance, they remain grossly understudied with little knowledge of key ecosystem processes within lowland forests in particular. Such knowledge is urgently required if the impacts of logging and other land-use change are to be assessed and in order to develop sustainable management systems. This thesis investigated the impacts of logging on diversity and nutrient cycling in a lowland tropical rainforest growing on limestone soils in the area of the Mongi-Busiga Forest Management Agreement (FMA, which is a logging concession area), in northeastern PNG. These forests are on relatively young soils and provide a useful contrast to the majority of tropical forests. The research includes a four-year study of the recovery of diversity and structure after logging, and quantified forest structure, tree species diversity, forest biomass and productivity, and nutrient distribution and cycling. This thesis also examines the ecological sustainability of Eucalyptus deglupta plantations in Wasab, PNG as an alternative resource for timber and biomass energy. The thesis concludes with a discussion of long-term forest recovery and sustainable forest management in north-eastern PNG. Two adjacent one-hectare plots were established in lowland tropical rainforest at Mongi-Busiga FMA. One of these plots was subsequently selectively logged, one year after establishment. Before logging, the two one-hectare plots contained a total of 37 families, 70 genera and 110 tree species that were >5 cm in diameter at breast height. Mean basal area was 42.4 m2 ha-1. Two tree species, Madhuca leucodermis (Sapotaceae) and Pometia pinnata (Sapindaceae) accounted for ~60% of the total basal area. Gymnacranthera paniculata (Myristicaceae) was the most common species and accounted for 13% of individuals. ... This study concludes that the Mongi-Busiga forest has many unusual characteristics for a tropical forest, including relatively low diversity of tree species, high accumulation of P in the biomass, and N limitations, compared to other tropical rainforests. However, those extraordinary characteristics may be explained well by the underlying geology of young, marine-derived limestone. Sustainable management of the lowland tropical forests of PNG should consider the consequences of logging on nutrient cycling processes, with the possible significant removal of P from site with repeated logging, as well as the interactions between N and P in these systems. Establishment of Eucalyptus plantations on previously cleared land also has the potential to meet some of the timber and biomass energy requirements of northern PNG in ecologically sustainable manner.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Foram avaliadas as alterações na composição florística, fitossociologia e danos em floresta submetida à exploração madeireira de impacto reduzido (EIR) no município de Caracaraí, no estado de Roraima. O experimento consistiu na instalação de nove parcelas permanentes (1 hectare cada), sob o elineamento inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições e três tratamentos (T1 = floresta natural; T2 = floresta submetida a exploração de impacto reduzido + corte de cipós; T3 = floresta submetida a exploração de impacto reduzido + corte de cipós + desbaste por anelagem). Antes da exploração madeireira, foram encontrados 4.724 indíviduos, distribuídos em 42 famílias botânicas, 111 gêneros e 165 espécies, sendo que as famílias botânicas que apresentaram maior número de indivíduos foram: Fabaceae (1.883), Lecythidaceae (609), Sapotaceae (434) e Arecaceae (254). As três espécies com os maiores valores de índice de importância (IVI), em ordem decrescente, foram: Pentaclethra macroloba (52,06%), Eschweilera bracteosa (23,72%) e Pouteria caimito (8,10%). Após a exploração madeireira de impacto reduzido realizada na intensidade média de 3 árvores extraídas por hectare (DAP > 50 cm), correspondente a 18,66 m3/ha e aplicação dos tratamentos silviculturais, não foram encontradas alterações significativas na composição florística, fitossociologia e nas freqüências diamétricas da floresta. A diversidade e equabilidade da floresta também não sofreram alterações significativas (Antes: Shannon = 3,27 e Pielou = 0,64; Após: Shannon = 3,26 e Pielou = 0,64). A exploração madeireira gerou uma média de 41 árvores danificadas/ha e 32 árvores mortas/ha, que correspondem a 15 árvores danificadas por árvore colhida por ha e 12 árvores mortas por árvore colhida por ha. A maior parte dos danos causados à vegetação remanescente resultou da formação de clareiras devido à extração de árvores comerciais da floresta, sendo superior ao impacto causado pela construção de trilhas de arraste. Foram observadas reduções de 5,96% e 18,90% no volume cormecial (DAP > 10 cm) em T2 e T3, respectivamente.
Changes on floristic composition and phytosociological and damage we evaluated in forest subjected to reduced-impact logging (RIL) in the municipality of Caracaraí in the state of Roraima. The experiment consisted in the installation of nine permanent plots (1 ha each), under the completely randomized design with three replications and three treatments (T1 = natural forest; T2 = forest subjected to reduced-impact logging + vine cutting; T3 = forest subjected to reduced-impact logging + cutting vines + girling). Before logging, 4.724 individuals were found, distributed in 42 botanical families, 111 genera and 165 species, and the plant families with the highest number of individuals were Fabaceae (1883), Lecythidaceae (609), Sapotaceae (434) and Arecaceae (254). The three species with the highest values of IVI, in descending order, were: Pentaclethra macroloba (52,06%), Eschweilera bracteosa (23,72%) and Pouteria caimito (8,10%). After the reduced-impact logging (RIL) with 3 trees extracted per hectare (DBH > 50 cm), corresponding to 18,66 m3/ha and application silvicultural treatments, we found no significant changes in floristic composition and phytosociological and diametric frequencies in the forest. The forest diversity and equability did not change significantly (before: Shannon = 3,27 and Pielou = 0,64; After: Shannon = 3,26 and Pielou = 0,64). Logging generated an average of 41 damaged trees / ha and 32 dead trees / ha, equivalent to 15 damaged trees per harvested tree per ha and 12 dead trees per harvested tree per ha. Most damage to remaining vegetation resulted in the formation of gaps due to the commercial extraction of forest trees, higher than the impact caused by construction of skid trails. Reductions of 5.96% and 18.90% in volume cormecial (DBH > 10 cm) in T2 and T3, respectively.

Abstract:
The trees, developed green spaces, and natural areas within the City of Austin’s 400,882 acres will face direct and indirect impacts from a changing climate over the 21st century. This assessment evaluates the vulnerability of urban trees and natural and developed landscapes within the City Austin to a range of future climates. We synthesized and summarized information on the contemporary landscape, provided information on past climate trends, and illustrated a range of projected future climates. We used this information to inform models of habitat suitability for trees native to the area. Projected shifts in plant hardiness and heat zones were used to understand how less common native species, nonnative species, and cultivars may tolerate future conditions. We also assessed the adaptability of planted and naturally occurring trees to stressors that may not be accounted for in habitat suitability models such as drought, flooding, wind damage, and air pollution. The summary of the contemporary landscape identifies major stressors currently threatening trees and forests in Austin. Major current threats to the region’s urban forest include invasive species, pests and disease, and development. Austin has been warming at a rate of about 0.4°F per decade since measurements began in 1938 and temperature is expected to increase by 5 to 10°F by the end of this century compared to the most recent 30-year average. Both increases in heavy rain events and severe droughts are projected for the future, and the overall balance of precipitation and temperature may shift Austin’s climate to be more similar to the arid Southwest. Species distribution modeling of native trees suggests that suitable habitat may decrease for 14 primarily northern species, and increase for four more southern species. An analysis of tree species vulnerability that combines model projections, shifts in hardiness and heat zones, and adaptive capacity showed that only 3% of the trees estimated to be present in Austin based on the most recent Urban FIA estimate were considered to have low vulnerability in developed areas. Using a panel of local experts, we also assessed the vulnerability of developed and natural areas. All areas were rated as having moderate to moderate-high vulnerability, but the underlying factors driving that vulnerability differed by natural community and between East and West Austin. These projected changes in climate and their associated impacts and vulnerabilities will have important implications for urban forest management, including the planting and maintenance of street and park trees, management of natural areas, and long-term planning.
