Diverging functional strategies but high sensitivity to an extreme drought in tropical dry forests

Roy Gonzalez-M. et al.

Summary: A study found that tree species have different responses to drought based on their functional trait combinations, with tree mortality being more widespread than tree growth in the functional space, where less adapted species showed more negative net biomass balances.

Soil biogeochemistry across Central and South American tropical dry forests

Bonnie G. Waring et al.

Summary: Spatial and temporal scales of variation in soil biogeochemistry were examined across four tropical dry forests. Soil characteristics showed marked heterogeneity across plots, with more changes observed across space than over time. Soil nutrient pools and fluxes in these forests challenge current representation of soil processes in ecosystem models.
