Influence of timber extraction routes on central African small-mammal communities, forest structure, and tree diversity

Article Abstract:

Research on deforestation in central Africa indicate that canopy damage is the most appropriate method for measuring logging damage, rather than stem damage. Topics include understory density, tree and sapling densities, and species composition, along with the use of rodent communities as early indicators of ecological changes.

Global Warming and Extinctions of Endemic Species from Biodiversity Hotspots

Article Abstract:

A multiple-method approach was used to assess the influence of global warming on species extinctions, including varying biome assumptions, migration capabilities, and vegetation models. Results for some tropical locations showed global warming holds more serious consequences for species extinction than deforestation.
