Exploring the tropical cloud forests of #Guacamayos. 🔎 Foggy, rain-soaked and mild temperatures: #cloudforests are some of the most species- and endemism-rich biomes on Earth. Despite covering only 0.4% of global land, they host 3,700 #species of birds, mammals, amphibians and tree ferns. 🌧️🌳🌿

Mechanisms driving changes in community trait composition and climate tracking. Changes in climatic conditions significantly influence tropical forest tree community dynamics, including survival (survivor assemblages), recruitment (recruit assemblages), and mortality (fatality assemblages). Quantifying these community dynamics is crucial for understanding how tropical forests adapt to and track a changing climate. Survivor assemblages consist of trees with traits potentially suited to existing climatic conditions, aiding in incremental climate tracking. Conversely, recruit assemblages are composed of individuals with traits potentially better adapted to emerging climatic conditions, enhancing their ability to thrive under new environmental conditions. By contrast, fatality assemblages represent individuals with less resilient traits, leading to their inability to cope with climatic shifts. Our analysis reveals that survivor assemblages are tracking climate changes at <8% of the expected rate given current climate shifts. Recruit assemblages demonstrate a higher tracking rate, ~22% of the expectation. However, fatality assemblages by definition do not track climate because they consist of individuals that have already perished, likely due to their inadequate adaptation to changing climatic conditions.

[2/3] Dans les forêts de Mésoamérique les plantes se déplacent vers des altitudes + élevées mais le changement est lent. Le recul des espèces les moins thermophiles a mené à un déplacement moyen de 1,8 à 2,7m par an depuis 1979 montrant la vulnérabilité des forêts nuageuses. #geography #cloudforests

Cloud forests with Prof. Kelly Tonello The word "cloud forest" may sound foreign to many, but it is an important and essential ecosystem for biodiversity and surrounding ecosystems, albeit a small one on the global scale.

Have you ever heard of #cloudforests? Although covering only 1 % of the global #woodland, they are incredibly important for #biodiversity and the surrounding #ecosystems.
