Jan 1, 2006 · Tropical forests circle the Earth around the equator. A consistent, precise and universal definition of ‘tropical forest’ is difficult to arrive at, as there are continua, both physical and biological, to sub-tropical, savanna and woodland systems, which are open to interpretation.
Jun 22, 2020 · Abstract. Tropical forests are vital for global biodiversity, carbon storage and local livelihoods, yet they are increasingly under threat from human activities. Large-scale land acquisitions...
Aug 8, 2022 · While tropical forests contribute to climate regulation, global climate change is impacting forest ecosystems. Climate extremes are increasing significantly in tropical regions. Tropical forest temperatures are in sharp increase, in some regions, by more than 1.5°C.
Apr 1, 2017 · Terrain is an important environment factor that plays a vital role in human development by influencing the spatial layout of land use patterns. The terrain niche index, combined with slope and elevation, can comprehensively present detailed information about spatial differences in terrain and is superior to single terrain factors. We applied remote sensing and geographical information system ...
