Leaf herbivory modulates fruit trait correlations within individual plants
(Springer, 2020-06)
Plant performance is based on the relationship between resource acquisition and allocation to complete essential functions. Herbivory causes compromises in resource allocation that impact at the plant and within-plant ...
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. ...
Which variables influence the herbivory amount on Montrichardia spp. (Araceae) in aquatic ecosystems?
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2022)
Complex trait‒environment relationships underlie the structure of forest plant communities
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-08)
Traits differentially adapt plant species to particular conditions generating compositional shifts along environmental gradients. As a result, community-scale trait values show concomitant shifts, termed trait‒environment ...
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 ...
Restoration of plant diversity and ecosystem functioning: effects of species richness, phylogenetic distance, functional diversity and invasive plants
(BrasilUFRNPROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM ECOLOGIA, 2017-05-24)
Biodiversity positively affects several ecosystem functions. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which biodiversity affects ecosystems are still poorly understood and call for new experimental studies designed to identify its ...
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 ...
Plant functional types and trait values in the Paraná River floodplain: modelling their association with environmental features
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2016-02)
Our aim was to assess whether plant trait values and functional types are associated with environmental features in floodplain wetlands. The study was conducted in the Lower Paraná River floodplain, mostly dominated by ...
TRY – a global database of plant traits
(2011-01)
Plant traits – the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs – determine how primary producers respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic ...
