Biodiversity values of timber plantations and restoration plantings for rainforest fauna in tropical and subtropical Australia
Published 2005“…In this study, we surveyed the occurrence of a range of animal taxa in monoculture and mixed species timber plantations and restoration plantings in tropical and subtropical Australia. We used the richness of 'rainforest-dependent' taxa (i.e., birds, lizards and mites associated with rainforest habitats) in reforested sites as our measure of their 'biodiversity value'. …”

Consequences of broadscale timber plantations for biodiversity in cleared rainforest landscapes of tropical and subtropical Australia
Published 2005“…We compiled a list of these consequences from the literature, and used them to assess plantation scenarios proposed for cleared rainforest landscapes in tropical and subtropical Australia. The scenarios were monocultures of: (i) hooppine, (ii) exotic pine and (iii) eucalypts; (iv) mixed species plantations; (v) a mosaic of monoculture plantations; and (vi) a mosaic of plantations and ecological restoration plantings. …”

Investigation into sustainable technologies for mitigating urban heat island effects in subtropical monsoon climate
Published 2023“…A case study has been conducted in Osaka, Japan, which is a typical city under subtropical monsoon weather condition. Consequently, the PCM-Roof -A36H -10cm model reduced outdoor air temperatures by up to 7.09°C and total urban building cooling energy use cooling loads by up to 23.68% compared to the baseline case. …”

Bole epiphytic lichens as potential indicators of environmental change in subtropical forest ecosystems in southwest China
Published 2013“…However, very little is known about epiphytic lichen communities and their response to forest dynamics in subtropical China. This paper proposes the applications of the cover, diversity, and functional traits of epiphytic lichens to assess environmental changes associated with succession in subtropical forests of southwest China. …”

Modulation of the Southern Africa precipitation response to the El Niño Southern Oscillation by the subtropical Indian Ocean Dipole
Published 2017“…The climate of Southern Africa, defined as the land area bound by the region 15°S–35°S; 12.5°E–42.5°E, during the December–March rainy season is driven by Indo-Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Subtropical Indian Ocean Dipole (SIOD). The observed December–March 1979–2014 Southern Africa precipitation during the four ENSO and SIOD phase combinations suggests that the phase of the SIOD can disrupt or enhance the Southern Africa precipitation response to ENSO. …”

Response of epiphytic bryophytes to simulated N deposition in a subtropical montane cloud forest in southwestern China
Published 2012“…A field manipulation experiment was conducted in a subtropical montane cloud forest in southwestern China to determine the possible responses of epiphytic bryophytes to increasing nitrogen (N) deposition from community to physiology level, and to find sensitive epiphytic bryophytes that may be used as indicators for assessing the degree of N pollution. …”
