, expansion, and decline of the evergreen understory. Results indicate that significant expansion of the evergreen-understory occurred in both basins during the period 1976-1993, and that stream proximity, topographic setting, and elevation are related
to patterns of evergreen-understory dynamics. Patterns differ between the 2 basins, suggesting that disturbance and differing land-use histories are also influential.

The preliminary results of long-term CO2 flux measurements at forest sites in East Asia are explained and compared with each other. The features of seasonal variation of CO2 fluxes are different among deciduous-broadleaf, evergreen-coniferous
, deciduous-coniferous and tropical forests in East Asia, and the causes of difference are discussed.
Here, the AA. present the first modern pollen-rain data for tall terra firme moist evergreen Amazon forest, collected between 1999 and 2001 from artificial pollen traps in Noel Kempff Mercado National Park (NE Bolivia). Spearman's rank correlations

with the climate change. This paper will discuss factors affecting stemflow generation at the pre- and the middle-stage of the succession from Japanese red pine to evergreen oak, and will clarify the change of the factors due to the progress of the succession
conifer forests occupied the modern cool-temperature deciduous broadleaf and mid-temperate conifer forest zones, and temperate coniferous forests, the present warm-temperate evergreen (laurilignosa) forest zone.
A vegetation map reconstructed for the Japanese Archipelago (based upon pollen data from 28 sites and plant macrofossil data from 33 sites) at the time of last glacial maximum shows that coniferous forests covered extensive areas of the land. Boreal
Effects of clearfelling and slash-burning on water yield and storm hydrographs in evergreen mixed forests, Western New Zealand in The influence of Man on the hydrological regime with special reference to representative and experimental basins.
A tropical evergreenforest site with perched water table, Magdalena valley, Columbia. Biomass and bioelement inventory of primary and secondary vegetation
The A. assesses the degree of change in the Buenavista paramo dominated by dwarf bamboo, evergreen shrubs and herbs. Early written descriptions are contrasted with modern observations and repeat photography taken between 1949 and 1985 show
remarkable stability of this vegetation, quite in contrast with the oak forests at lower elevations. - (DWG)
The structural formation of the Wuyi mountains, Fujian province, is outlined. Together with the natural cover of sub-tropical evergreen broadleaf forests, the lanscape offers many scenic spots of natural beauty. Seven sub-regions are recognized
The objectives were to determine the soil organic carbon (SOC) content and forms of Andosols under evergreenforest vegetation (laurel and heather forest), and to determine the role of different forms of SOC in aggregate stability and resistance
performance was related to land cover. Exotic and evergreen species grew better than indigenous and deciduous, offering hints on species-habitat matching. Detailed field and statistical analyses could yield tree-environment information to enhance urban
Coadaptation entre rythmes de fructification et frugivorie en forêt tropicale humide du Gabon: mythe ou réalité. (Coadaptation between fruiting periodicity and frugivory in a Gaboon rain forest: myth or reality)
Fruiting patterns were studied for a year in lowland evergreenforest at Makokou, Gabon. The results are compared to those reported for other tropical rainforests. Although the AA showed in a simultaneous study that there are broad suites
and evergreenforests. The highest productivity and biomass were observed in dry evergreenforests and the lowest in paddy fields. A vegetation greenness model was developed from correlations between NDVI and meteorological data using linear regression
