Assessing the Impact of Hydraulic Control Structures on Hydrodynamic Modelling in Shallow WatersOA Marine
Currently, hydrodynamic models for bay and estuarine systems involve many parameters that require proper calibration to design coastal structures effectively. However, in coastal regions with limited data availability, the implementation of such models becomes challenging. This research introduces a simplified hydrodynamic methodology designed to analyse the impact of hydraulic control structures in shallow waters. This approa...
Tropical forest succession increases tree taxonomic and functional richness but decreases evennessNARA Subscribed
Aim Successional changes in functional diversity provide insights into community assembly by indicating how species are filtered into local communities based on their traits. Here, we assess successional changes in taxonomic and functional richness, evenness and redundancy along gradients of climate, soil pH and forest cover. Location Neotropics. Time period Last 0–100 years. Major taxa studied Trees. Methods We used 22 forest...
NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal specie...
Successional changes in functional composition contrast for dry and wet tropical forestNARA Subscribed
We tested whether and how functional composition changes with succession in dry deciduous and wet evergreen forests of Mexico. We hypothesized that compositional changes during succession in dry forest were mainly determined by increasing water availability leading to community functional changes from conservative to acquisitive strategies, and in wet forest by decreasing light availability leading to changes from acquisitive...
Tropical forests will experience relatively large changes in temperature and rainfall towards the end of this century. Little is known about how tropical trees will respond to these changes. We used tree rings to establish climate‐growth relations of a pioneer tree, Mimosa acantholoba , occurring in tropical dry secondary forests in southern Mexico. The role of large‐scale climatic drivers in determining interannual growth var...
