How reproductive, vegetative and defensive strategies of mediterranean grassland species respond to a grazing intensity gradient
(Springer, 2010-03)
We analysed the morpho-functional response of grassland species to a grazing intensity gradient (1-3.5 sheep ha-1) in the Mediterranean-type climate region of Chile. A total of nine morphofunctional traits (with a total ...
Short-term responses to sheep grazing in a Patagonian steppe
(CSIRO Publishing, 2020)
Preference for different inorganic-nitrogen forms among plant-functional types and species of the Patagonian steppe
(Springer, 2013-06)
We have explored species–specific preferences for nitrate (NO3 −) and ammonium (NH4 +) as an alternative niche separation in ecosystems where nitrogen (N) is present mostly in inorganic forms. The Patagonian steppe is ...
Patterns of Plumericin Concentration in Leaves of Himatanthus tarapotensis (Apocynaceae) and Its Interactions with Herbivory in the Peruvian Amazon
(MDPI, 2022)
We explored the concentration patterns of the bioactive metabolite plumericin produced by Himatanthus tarapotensis (Apocynaceae) under different edaphic conditions and variations in rainfall intensity, as well as 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 ...
Species richness and functional groups of angiosperms from the Paraná River Delta region (Argentina)
(Centro de Referencia em Informacao Ambiental, 2015)
Role of P-type IIA (ECA) and P-type IIB (ACA) Ca2+-ATPases in plant development and growth
(Oxford University Press, 2019-11)
As sessile organisms, plants have evolved mechanisms to adapt to variable and rapidly fluctuating environmental conditions. Calcium (Ca2+) in plant cells is a versatile intracellular second messenger essential for mounting ...
Mapping Plant Functional Types in Floodplain Wetlands: An Analysis of C-Band Polarimetric SAR Data from RADARSAT-2
(MDPI, 2016-02)
The inclusion of functional approaches on wetland characterizations and on biodiversity assessments improves our understanding of ecosystem functioning. In the Lower Paraná River floodplain, we assessed the ability of C-band ...
