Costs and benefits of relative bark thickness in relation to fire damage: a savanna/forest contrast (2013, background): “…2003; Nefabas & Gambiza 2007; Lawes et al. 2011a; Hoffmann et al. 2012) and dry (Pinard & Huffman 1997), gallery (VanderWeide & Hartnett 2011) and disturbed tropical rainforest trees (Hegde, Chandran & Gadgil 1998; Barlow, Lagan & Peres 2003; Van Nieuwstadt & Sheil 2005; Paine et al. 2010).”
Functional explanations for variation in bark thickness in tropical rain forest trees (2010, background): “For trees with thicker bark, we used bark thickness gauges (Suunto Oy, Vantaa, Finland).”
Bark traits and life-history strategies of tropical dry- and moist forest trees (2014, background): “In the wet tropics, large-scale forest fires occur only rarely during extreme droughts (Van Nieuwstadt & Sheil 2005), but the frequency of tropical forest fires has increased dramatically over the past decades, due to increased slash-and-burn agriculture, and the synergistic effects of logging and…”
Slow‐growing species cope best with drought: evidence from long‐term measurements in a tropical semi‐deciduous moist forest of Central Africa (2013, background): “…deciduous and large, leaf fall being a drought avoidance strategy during the dry season (Worbes 1999; Sch€ongart et al. 2002) that offsets the increased drought sensitivity due to their size (Condit, Hubbell & Foster 1995; Van Nieuwstadt & Sheil 2005; Nepstad et al. 2007; Phillips et al. 2010).”
CTFS‐ForestGEO: a worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change (2015, background): “Across the tropics, increases in aridity or the occurrence of severe droughts have led to forest “browning”, mortality episodes, or fires (Van Nieuwstadt & Sheil, 2005; Lewis et al., 2011; Zhou et al., 2014), and there is concern that potential future increases in aridity in some parts of the…”
Abrupt increases in Amazonian tree mortality due to drought–fire interactions (2014, background): “During years of severe drought, Amazon forest fires are atypically intense, killing up to 64% of the trees (18, 19).”
A trait‐mediated, neighbourhood approach to quantify climate impacts on successional dynamics of tropical rainforests (2016, background): “…British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 30, 157–167 survival, supporting results elsewhere that link drought with elevated rates of tree mortality (Slik 2004; van Nieuw- stadt & Sheil 2005; Chazdon, Brenes & Alvarado 2005; Brando et al. 2008; Phillips et al. 2010; da Costa et al. 2010).”
