Environmental influences on chorusing patterns in an Australian tropical savanna frog community by Sheryn Brodie, Slade Allen‐Ankins, Lin Schwarzkopf

“…We used long‐duration false‐color spectrograms derived from acoustic indices to detect the nightly chorusing of a community of anurans in a tropical savanna in north Queensland. We described the chorusing patterns of each species over two wet seasons at three breeding sites, and used conditional random forest analysis to investigate the influence of various environmental factors. …”

Resource availability and competition shape pollinator trophic specialization in longleaf pine savannas by Pablo Moreno-García, Johanna E. Freeman, Benjamin Baiser, Joshua W. Campbell, Daijiang Li

“…We used samples collected over an entire flowering season in 24 xeric pine savannas in north-central Florida, USA and evaluated the effects of plant availability and pollinator competitor pool on three aspects of trophic specialization: taxonomic specialization (pollinator selection of plant species), phylogenetic specialization (pollinator selection of plant phylogenetic lineages), and functional specialization (pollinator selection of plant functional traits). …”

Spatial Characterization of Woody Species Diversity in Tropical Savannas Using GEDI and Optical Data by Franciel Eduardo Rex, Carlos Alberto Silva, Eben North Broadbent, Ana Paula Dalla Corte, Rodrigo Leite, Andrew Hudak, Caio Hamamura, Hooman Latifi, Jingfeng Xiao, Jeff W. Atkins, Cibele Amaral, Ernandes Macedo da Cunha Neto, Adrian Cardil, Angelica M. Almeyda Zambrano, Veraldo Liesenberg, Jingjing Liang, Danilo Roberti Alves De Almeida, Carine Klauberg

“…Our results suggested that the developed models are valuable tools for assessing species diversity in tropical savanna ecosystems, although each model can be chosen based on the objectives of a given study, the target amount of performance/error, and the availability of data.…”

Consistent patterns of LiDAR-derived measures of savanna vegetation complexity between wet and dry seasons by Zhengyang Wang, Jenia Singh, Andrew B. Davies

“…It is assumed that seasonal variation in vegetation structure is not substantive enough to affect landscape-level correlational analyses, but this assumption has never been explicitly tested in savanna ecosystems. Moreover, phenological differences in vegetation are thought to adversely affect the comparability of LiDAR measurements from different seasons, but these effects have seldom been tested and could depend on data resolution. …”

Numerical Simulation of Surface Energy and Water Balances over a Semiarid Grassland Ecosystem in the West African Savanna by Emmanuel Quansah, Genki Katata, Matthias Mauder, Thompson Annor, Leonard K. Amekudzi, Jan Bliefernicht, Dominikus Heinzeller, Ahmed A. Balogun, Harald Kunstmann

“…Further sensitivity tests over longer simulation periods (e.g., 1 year) are required to improve model performance and to investigate seasonal exchanges of surface energy fluxes over the West African Savanna ecosystems in more details.…”

Status of Soil Physicochemical Properties in Forests and Savannas Restored Using the Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Approach in Eastern Rwanda by Venuste Nsengimana, Marguerite Mukangango, Jean de Dieu Habiyaremye, Fautine Uwiduhaye, Christella Suavis Iradukunda, Yvonne Bigengimana, Florien Nsanganwimana

“…In Rwanda, the approach was initiated in 2016 to restore degraded wetlands, savannas, and forests. However, nothing is known about how the restoration improved soil quality. …”

Leafcutter Ant Nests Inhibit Low-Intensity Fire Spread in the Understory of Transitional Forests at the Amazon's Forest-Savanna Boundary by Karine S. Carvalho, Ane Alencar, Jennifer Balch, Paulo Moutinho

“…In a transitional forest, where the southern Amazon forest meets the Brazilian savanna, we tested whether leaf-cutter ant nests and trails (i) inhibit fire spread due to a lack of fuels, and (ii), thereby, reduce the total burned area during these experimental low-intensity fires, particularly at forest edges where leaf-cutter ant abundance was higher. …”
