Shifting from acquisitive to conservative: the effects of Phoradendron affine (Santalaceae) infection in leaf morpho-physiological traits of a Neotropical tree species
(Csiro Publishing, 2017-01-01)
Mistletoes are parasitic plants that penetrate the host branches through a modified root and connect to their xylem to acquire nutrients and water. Under mistletoe infection, resources that would otherwise be used by the ...
Rocks and leaves: Can anatomical leaf traits reflect environmental heterogeneity in inselberg vegetation?
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-01-01)
Inselbergs, isolated rock outcrops that rise above the surrounding landscape, harbor a highly diverse flora. Differences in slope, water availability, soil depth and sun exposure result in the creation of microhabitats ...
Expanding our understanding of leaf functional syndromes in savanna systems: the role of plant growth form
(2017-04-01)
The assessment of leaf strategies has been a common theme in ecology, especially where multiple sources of environmental constraints (fire, seasonal drought, nutrient-poor soils) impose a strong selection pressure towards ...
Leafing patterns and leaf traits of four evergreen shrubs in the Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Elsevier Masson, 2009-11)
We assessed leafing patterns (rate, timing, and duration of leafing) and leaf traits (leaf longevity, leaf mass per area and leaf-chemistry) in four co-occurring evergreen shrubs of the genus Larrea and Chuquiraga (each ...
Evolution of climatic related leaf traits in the family nothofagaceae
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018)
© 2018 Glade-Vargas, Hinojosa and Leppe. The current relationship between leaf traits and environmental variables has been widely used as a proxy for climate estimates. However, it has been observed that the phylogenetic ...
Evolution of Climatic Related Leaf Traits in the Family Nothofagaceae
(2018)
The current relationship between leaf traits and environmental variables has been widely used as a proxy for climate estimates. However, it has been observed that the phylogenetic relationships between taxa also influence ...
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 ...
Plant phenology, leaf traits and leaf litterfall of contrasting life forms in the arid Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-02)
Question: Do coexisting plant life forms differ in overall phenology, leaf traits and patterns of leaf litterfall? Location: Patagonian Monte, Chubut Province, Argentina. Methods: We assessed phenology, traits of green and ...
Leaf anatomical traits corroborate the leaf economic spectrum: a case study with deciduous forest tree species
(Soc Botanica Sao Paulo, 2014-03-01)
Deciduous forests are seasonal systems that occur scattered throughout the Neotropics. Many aspects about these ecosystems have been studied. However, there is a lack of information about leaf structure and its possible ...
