The tallest trees in this Costa Rican forest are found in certain topographic locations, and those tall trees have unique nitrogen properties.
Techniques Terrain Mapping
Landslide dynamics generate biological and carbon stock diversity in the Andes
Soil nutrients follow fine topographic patterns in lowland Amazon forests
Termites affect the use of savannas by larger herbivores
