Root niche separation can explain avoidance of seasonal drought stress and vulnerability of overstory trees to extended drought in a mature Amazonian forest
(AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNIONWASHINGTON, 2012)
Large areas of Amazonian evergreen forest experience seasonal droughts extending for three or more months, yet show maximum rates of photosynthesis and evapotranspiration during dry intervals. This apparent resilience is ...
Vertical variation in autumn leaf phenology of Fagus sylvatica L. in southern Germany
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-02-15)
Phenological variation among trees of different heights provides a small-scale ecological distinction within the forest, allowing the modulation of light interception and, consequently, net carbon gain. While spring ...
Overstory trees in excess: A threat to restoration success in Brazilian Atlantic forest
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-10-01)
Tree planting is the most widely used technique for tropical forest restoration because it accelerates the recovery of forest structure and ecosystem functioning. Despite the importance of tree size distribution to the ...
Conservation value of timber quality versus associated non-timber quality stands for understory diversity in Nothofagus forests
(Springer, 2008-02-08)
Conservation strategies of forested landscapes must consider biodiversity of the included site types, i.e. timber-quality forests and associated non-timber-quality stands. The objectives were to characterize forest overstory ...
Performance and cost of applied nucleation versus high-diversity plantations for tropical forest restoration
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-07-01)
How to best restore highly diverse tropical forests to deliver an affordable and effective legacy of biodiversity remains an ecological dilemma. We investigated both vegetation recovery and financial outcomes of forest ...
The influence of canopy-layer composition on understory plant diversity in southern temperate forests
(Springer, 2017-05)
Background Understory plants represents the largest component of biodiversity in most forest ecosystems and plays a key role in forest functioning. Despite their importance, the influence of overstory-layer composition on ...
Is leaf water repellency related to vapor pressure deficit and crown exposure in tropical forests?
(Gauthier-villars/editions ElsevierParisFrança, 2010)
Restoration of seasonal semideciduous forests in Brazil: influence of age and restoration design on forest structure
(Elsevier Science BvAmsterdamHolanda, 2004)
Alteration of the hydrologic cycle due to forest clearing and its consequences for rainforest succession
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2007-06)
Since the 19th century, 41% of the land on Chiloe´ Island (418500S, 738400W) in Chile was cleared. Following clearing and burning, much of the
converted land remains in sparse shrub cover. We hypothesized that the arrested ...
Does grazing change algal communities from grassland and pine afforested streams?: a laboratory approach
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2014-11)
Drastic changes in the composition and physiognomy of riparian vegetation, such as the conversion of grassland to forest, are expected to alter interactions among light availability, primary producers and herbivores. Our ...
