The first research output from our Australian permanent sample plot network, led by @EmmaMackintosh4, shows that forests struggling to recover from cyclones are not recovering biomass and overwhelmed by liana infestations. shorturl.at/NpFM7
Monitoring of litterfall and herbivory in one of our vegetation plots has been combined with similar data from 73 other sites worldwide, showing that plant-herbivore interactions and associated nutrient fluxes, are affected by climate.

Another step towards identifying critical thresholds for tropical forest recovery from disturbance.

This article summarises our use of millipedes to test for “bandage effects” of vine infestations. While they harm trees and stall forest succession, we expect that dense vine thickets also preserve microclimates for wildlife and future forest recovery. tinyurl.com/3bana6f9

Workshop with forest managers discussing implications of our @FoRCEexperiment research for managing the Australian Wet Tropics last month. Many people “hate” the native & exotic vines now smothering the forests after all the cyclones and logging! But should we be cutting them?

Secondary forest recovery in the neotropics. They appear to be behaving differently to the vine-dominated forests where we work, where recovery can be stalled for decades.
Long generation times mean that biodiversity change of Amazon forests lags behind climate change
Our wonderful new field team in Vietnam has just finished establishing our latest pilot vegetation plots, our first expansion into Asia. Hopefully lots more work to follow, to determine how disturbed forests can be restored through control of plants competing with trees.

This month we begin expansion of our network of permanent vegetation plots into Colombia and Vietnam. We are establishing new pilot plots and exploring forest elevation gradients to plan for future work. Partners: @inst_humboldt and the Vietnamese Academy of Forest Sciences.
