Afrotropical Tree Communities May Have Distinct Responses to Forecasted Climate Change

2019-11-04

Abstract excerpt

More refined knowledge of how tropical forests respond to changes in the abiotic environment and human disturbance is necessary to mitigating climate change, maintain biodiversity, and preserve ecosystem services. To evaluate the unique response of Afrotropical forests to changes in the abiotic environment and disturbance, we employ species inventories, remotely sensed historic climatic data, and future climate pr...
