Cambial dormancy lasts 9Â months in a tropical evergreen species
(2016-08-01)
Key message: Cambial dormancy in a tropical evergreen species is long lasting, and the initiation of cambial activity is related to day length. Abstract: Studies on cambial activity allow us to understand the growth dynamics ...
Land-use intensification effects on functional properties in tropical plant communities
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-01)
There is consensus that plant diversity and ecosystem processes are negatively affected by land- use intensification ( LUI ), but, at the same time, there is empirical evidence that a large heterogeneity can be found in ...
Estructura, composición, riqueza y diversidad de árboles en tres muestras de selva mediana subperennifolia

Photochemical efficiency of adult and young leaves in the neotropical understory shrub Psychotria limonensis (Rubiaceae) in response to changes in the light environment
(Revista de Biologia Tropical 52 (4): 839-844, 2004-12)
We explored the short-term adjustment in photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) in adult and young leaves of the understory neotropical shrub Psychotria limonensis Krause (Rubiaceae) in response to rapid changes in the light ...
Disproportionate single-species contribution to canopy-soil nutrient flux in an Amazonian rainforest
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
Rainfall, throughfall and stemflow were monitored on an event basis in an undisturbed open tropical rainforest with a large number of palm trees located in the southwestern Amazon basin of Brazil. Stemflow samples were ...
Variation in leaf wettability traits along a tropical montane elevation gradient
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-05)
Leaf wetting is often considered to have negative effects on plant function, such that wet environments may select for leaves with certain leaf surface, morphological, and architectural traits that reduce leaf wettability. ...
Bird use of logging gaps in a subtropical mountain forest: The influence of habitat structure and resource abundance in the Yungas of Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2009-01)
Selective logging is one of the main economical activities in tropical and subtropical forests. While most of the effects of this activity on bird communities have been studied by comparing exploited vs. non-exploited ...
