Characterization and properties of blended cement matrices containing activated bamboo leaf wastes
(ELSEVIER SCI LTDOXFORD, 2012-10)
The worldwide production of bamboo generates large volumes of leaf wastes, which are deposited in landfills or burned in an uncontrolled manner, with negative effects in the environment. The ash obtained by calcining of ...
Can leaf spectroscopy predict leaf and forest traits along a peruvian tropical forest elevation gradient?
(Agu Publications, 2017-11)
High‐resolution spectroscopy can be used to measure leaf chemical and structural traits. Such leaf traits are often highly correlated to other traits, such as photosynthesis, through the leaf economics spectrum. We measured ...
Oviposition by herbivorous insects induces changes in optical and mechanical properties of Prunus avium leaves
(Springer, 2018-08)
This study of animal–plant interaction focused on the impact of oviposition by an insect on the leaves of Prunus avium (cherries). We examined whether the oviposition by Caliroa cerasi affects leaf mechanical and spectral ...
Fractal analysis of leaf-texture properties as a tool for taxonomic and identification purposes: a case study with species from Neotropical Melastomataceae (Miconieae tribe)
(Springer Wien, 2011-01-01)
Melastomataceae is a common and dominant family in Neotropical vegetation, with high species diversity which leads to a large variation in some morphological structures. Despite this, some species of Melastomataceae are ...
Accuracy and limitations for spectroscopic prediction of leaf traits in seasonally dry tropical environments
(2020-07-01)
Generalized assessments of the accuracy of spectroscopic estimates of ecologically important leaf traits such as leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) are still lacking for most ecosystems, and ...
Is N-resorption efficiency related to secondary compounds and leaf longevity in coexisting plant species of the arid Patagonian Monte, Argentina?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011)
Inhibition of the symbiotic fungus of leaf-cutting ants by coumarins
(2005-05-01)
Leaf-cutting ants are known to be a serious pest for agriculture due to the high amounts of vegetal matter from crops used by them in order to cultivate a symbiotic fungus on which they rely for food and enzymes. The ...
Leaf mechanical resistance in plant trait databases: comparing the results of two common measurement methods
(Oxford University Press, 2016-02)
Background and Aims The influence of leaf mechanical properties on local ecosystem processes, such as trophic transfer, decomposition and nutrient cycling, has resulted in a growing interest in including leaf mechanical ...
Leaf trait variability maintains similar leaf exchange rhythms in Hirtella glandulosa Spreng. (Chrysobalanaceae) populations growing on contrasting soil types in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(2021-09-01)
Abiotic and biotic factors constrain species occurrences, although many species are widely distributed. We investigated the performance of two populations of Hirtella glandulosa Spreng. (Chrysobalanaceae), a tropical tree ...
