    • The ecology of Maesopsis eminii Engl. in tropical Africa 

      Epila, Jackie; Verbeeck, Hans; Otim-Epila, Thomas; Okullo, Paul; Kearsley, Elizabeth; Steppe, Kathy (African Journal of Ecology, 2017)
      Maesopsis eminii is referred to as one of the most widely distributed African tree species. However, its occurrence in Africa has never been mapped and little is known as to how this species can sustain in different ...

    • Forest resilience and tipping points at different spatio-temporal scales: approaches and challenges 

      Reyer, Christopher P. O.; Brouwers, Niels; Rammig, Anja; Brook, Barry W.; Epila, Jackie; Grant, Robert F.; Holmgren, Milena; Langerwisch, Fanny; Leuzinger, Sebastian; Lucht, Wolfgang; Medlyn, Belinda; Pfeifer, Marion; Steinkamp, Jorg; Vanderwel, Mark C.; Verbeeck, Hans; Villela, Dora M. (Journal of Ecology, 2015)
      1. Anthropogenic global change compromises forest resilience, with profound impacts to ecosystem functions and services. This synthesis paper reflects on the current understanding of forest resilience and potential tipping ...

    • Plant measurements on African tropical Maesopsis eminii seedlings contradict pioneering water use behaviour 

      Epila, Jackie; Maesa, Wouter H.; Verbeeck, Hans; Campa, Janne Van; Okullod, John Bosco Lamoris; Steppe, Kathy (Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2017)
      With increased drought events affecting forests globally, little is known about their future impact on Africa’s forests. In particular, we need to gain a better understanding of how key African forest species will respond ...
