Therefore, mitigation and adaptation strategies are being developed to limit further exacerbation of climate change and to preserve the provision of ecosystem services to societies. Tropical forests are particularly vulnerable to climate variability, yet are also shaped by deforestation, fragmentation, degradation and restoration processes. ...
