This study examines how sampling methods affect phenology indices in tropical trees across India and provides recommendations for future research.

This study analyzes grass species distribution and richness across India, identifying patterns related to climate and geomorphology and highlighting conservation priorities in under-studied regions.

This study models the current and future distributions of two dominant Indian savanna tree species under climate change, finding significant habitat loss by 2100.

The paper compares tree community and carbon dynamics in mature and secondary rainforests over five years, finding higher carbon stocks and diversity in mature forests but greater carbon accrual in secondary forests.

This study examines soil respiration in tropical forests, finding it correlates with rainfall and soil moisture across multiple time scales, but not temperature, suggesting monsoon patterns drive future responses.

This study evaluates the effects of different logging practices and policy changes on forest recovery in the Andaman Islands, finding that post-2005 logging has similar large-tree density to 1990s logging but reduced diversity, suggesting the need for adjusted management practices.

The paper quantifies intraspecific and interspecific variation in wood density across tree genera and evaluates the accuracy of using genus averages for carbon stock estimation.
