Tropical forests may look like a uniform sea of green from above, but new research shows that carefully measured differences in forest structure and function can help explain how birds use existing habitats, how they respond to threats and which communities may be most at risk as forests change.
High-tech canopy maps reveal how tropical birds interact with Amazon forests
New research reveals how differences in forest structure affect tropical birds' habitat usage and responses to threats. This study highlights the importance of understanding ecological changes in the Amazon. While not directly related to Iran, it emphasizes global environmental issues that may impact Iran's biodiversity.
