Soil carbon stocks in stable tropical landforms are dominated by geochemical controls and not by land use

Mario Reichenbach et al.

Summary: Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in deeply weathered tropical soils are not well understood. In this study, we compared SOC stocks and turnover in montane tropical forest and cropland. We found that land use did not significantly alter SOC, but differences in SOC could be explained by soil physicochemical properties. Labile organo-mineral associations and exchangeable base cations were identified as the main controls over SOC stocks and turnover. Our findings suggest that increasing C inputs in deeply weathered soils may not lead to long-term SOC stabilization.

Soil seed bank composition and aboveground vegetation in dry Afromontane forest patches of Northwestern Ethiopia

Liyew Birhanu et al.

Summary: The species composition of the aboveground vegetation and soil seed bank in the dry Afromontane forest patches of Northwestern Ethiopia was described. Results showed medium species diversity and richness, and low similarity between the seed bank and aboveground vegetation. The study suggests transplanting indigenous tree species to facilitate the natural regeneration process of the soil seed bank.

Assessment of plant species composition and natural regeneration in abandoned settlements in the lower montane forest of Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania

Imani Abinery Kikoti et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic modification of montane forests affects native vegetation and plant community ecological functions. This study investigated the impact of land use change in the forests of Mount Kilimanjaro. The findings show that previous cultivation and settlement areas significantly influence tree species richness, diversity, and evenness, with natural forests exhibiting higher tree species diversity. Vernonia lasiopus and Bothriocline longipes play a crucial role in the restoration of degraded areas.

Variability in tree water uptake determined with stable water isotopes in an African tropical montane forest

Melanie Hahn et al.

Summary: Ecohydrological processes in tropical rainforests are not well understood, with contradictory results in existing studies. Our research in a tropical montane forest in Kenya identified individual tree differences in water uptake but no consistent species-specific or small-scale spatiotemporal patterns, highlighting the importance of considering lateral variability of soil water isotopes for accurate modeling. Further research on water flux processes in forest ecosystems is needed to improve the validity and comparability of mixing model results.

Long-term (1990-2019) monitoring of forest cover changes in the humid tropics

C. Vancutsem et al.

Summary: Accurate characterization of changes in tropical moist forests is crucial for conservation policies and understanding their contribution to global carbon fluxes. Degradation of these forests plays a key role as a precursor to deforestation, and without reducing disturbance rates, undisturbed forests in large tropical regions may disappear entirely by 2050. Reinforcing actions are needed to prevent initial degradation that leads to forest clearance in 45% of cases.

Summary: The study in the Albertine Rift's Itombwe Mountains revealed a negative correlation between tree species richness and elevation, while aboveground biomass was positively correlated with elevation and soil factors. Important tree species are under international conservation concern.

Landslide age, elevation and residual vegetation determine tropical montane forest canopy recovery and biomass accumulation after landslide disturbances in the Peruvian Andes

Cathryn A. Freund et al.

Summary: Using a high-resolution LiDAR dataset and a time-series inventory of 608 landslides distributed across a wide elevational gradient in Andean montane forest, we show that age and elevation are the most influential predictors of forest canopy height and canopy variability. Other features of landslides, in particular the presence of residual vegetation, shape post-landslide regeneration trajectories. LiDAR allows for a detailed analysis of forest structural recovery across large landscapes and numbers of disturbances, and provides a reasonable upper bound on above-ground biomass accumulation rates. However, because this method does not capture the effect of compositional change through succession on above-ground biomass, wherein high-wood density species gradually replace light-wooded pioneer species, it overestimates above-ground biomass. Given previously estimated stem turnover rates along this elevational gradient, we posit that above-ground biomass recovery takes at least three times as long as our recovery time estimates based on LiDAR-derived structure alone.

High aboveground carbon stock of African tropical montane forests

Aida Cuni-Sanchez et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the aboveground carbon stock of a montane African forest network is comparable to that of a lowland African forest network, and is two-thirds higher than default values for these montane forests. The research provides country-specific montane forest AGC stock estimates modeled from the plot network, aiming to guide forest conservation and reforestation interventions. The findings emphasize the need to conserve these biodiverse and carbon-rich ecosystems.

Environmental and anthropogenic factors affecting natural regeneration of degraded dry Afromontane forest

Hadgu Hishe et al.

Summary: Natural regeneration in the Afromontane forest in Northern Ethiopia is influenced by factors such as canopy cover, distance to roads, precipitation, soil quality, and tree species diversity. The abundance of dominant species in the canopy and regeneration layers also plays a role in affecting regeneration success. Forest degradation negatively impacts late-successional species regeneration, highlighting the need for active restoration interventions.
