Edge fires drive the shape and stability of tropical forests
In tropical regions, fires propagate readily in grasslands but typically consume only edges of forest patches. Thus, forest patches grow due to tree propagation and shrink by...- publication PDF

Climatological annual cycle of the salinity budgets of the subtropical maxima
Six subtropical salinity maxima (S-max) exist: two each in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean basins. The north Indian (NI) S-max lies in the Arabian Sea while the...- publication PDF
