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 ...
The acquisitive–conservative axis of leaf trait variation emerges even in homogeneous environments
(Oxford University Press, 2020-11-27)
The acquisitive-conservative axis of plant ecological strategies results in a pattern of leaf trait covariation that captures the balance between leaf construction costs and plant growth potential. Studies evaluating trait ...
Sunflower Leaf Senescence: A Complex Genetic Process with Economic Impact on Crop Production
(IntechOpen, 2017)
Leaf senescence is a complex process controlled by multiple genetic and environmental variables. In different crops, a delay in leaf senescence has an important impact on grain yield trough the maintenance of the photosynthetic ...
Leaf anatomical traits corroborate the leaf economic spectrum: a case study with deciduous forest tree species
(Soc Botanica Sao Paulo, 2014)
Drought reduces the growth and health of tropical rainforest understory plants
(2022-05-01)
Tree saplings and shrubs are frequently overlooked components of tropical rainforest biodiversity, and it may be hypothesized that their small stature and shallow root systems predisposes them to be vulnerable to drought. ...
Toxicity of Azadirachta indica to leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(2006-04-21)
The leaf-cutting ants are responsible for great economical damages in cultivated areas, and because of this characteristic, they have aroused the interest of researchers around the world. Thus, extracts of neem (Azadirachta ...
Unraveling the coordination between leaf and stem economics spectra through local and global scale approaches
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-08)
The existence of a coordination between leaf and stem economic spectra in woody species has been postulated repeatedly in the literature, with contrasting results. Here we postulated that this coordination is conditioned ...
