• Multifunctional shade‐tree management in tropical agroforestry landscapes – a review (2011, background): “Large-scale removal of rainforests is likely to cause a warmer and drier climate, leading to reduced cloud formation and upward shifts of cloud condensation layers (Lawton et al. 2001).”
• When family matters: an analysis of Thelotremataceae (Lichenized Ascomycota: Ostropales) as bioindicators of ecological continuity in tropical forests (2008, background): “…contributing not only to regional and global climate change (Shukla et al. 1990; Still et al. 1999; Malhi and Grace 2000; Fearnside 2000, 2001; Lawton et al. 2001; Defries et al. 2002; Fearnside and Laurance 2004) but also the extinction of thousands of species (Lewin 1986; Raup 1986; Brook…”
• Ecohydrological advances and applications in plant-water relations research: a review (2011, background): “Ecosystems with frequent fog and cloud inputs may experience changes in frequency, intensity and duration of events as a function of climate and land use change (Johnstone and Dawson 2010; Lawton et al. 2001; Pounds et al. 2006; Still et al. 1999).”
• Life in the treetops: ecophysiological strategies of canopy epiphytes in a tropical montane cloud forest (2015, background): “Moreover, increases in the variability of rainfall and a general decrease in cloud immersion are projected for the Costa Rican TMCF region due to changes in land use (i.e., deforestation) and increases in sea surface temperatures (Still et al. 1999, Lawton et al. 2001).”
