interactions and community responses, ecohydrology, risk of fire and related impacts, soil nutrient and microbe-plant interactions. Climate change is expected to increase temperatures across the tropics, with attendant variability in rainfall, and more extreme events such as intense storms, droughts and wildfires . This could be expected to have structural and functional impacts on tropical forest biomes . This section looks at responses of tropical trees and forests to current and future climate-change related pressures, focusing on physiological responses including growth, mortality and regeneration, fire risk and ecological vulnerability, as well as on climate effects of tropical forest loss.
