Structural and functional traits predict short term response of tropical dry forests to a high intensity hurricane

2018-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Tropical dry forest (TDF) is the most threatened of all tropical forest ecosystems worldwide. In the tropical dry forest of the Pacific Coast of Mexico, in addition to human disturbance, the vegetation has been subjected to natural disturbances such as droughts and hurricanes. The average cyclone intensity and the number of very intense category 4 and 5 storms are predicted to increase in this area and such extrem...
