We analysed leaf resistance of 41 Angiosperms belonging to a wide range of plant functional (PFTs) and chorological types (PCTs) to simulated frost and high-temperature extreme events (EE). Leaf resistance was estimated ...

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 ...

Ecotone areas are the most dynamic areas of the world where small changes in some condition produce rapid and abrupt responses such as shifts in the distribution of dominant species and associated community's patches. ...

1. Dominant plant functional types (PFTs) are expected to be primary determinants of communities of other above- and below-ground organisms. Here, we report the effects of the experimental removal of different PFTs on ...

En el centro de Argentina se han realizado numerosos estudios evaluando la relación entre distintos tipos funcionales de plantas (TFPs) en función de sus caracteres vegetativos y sus efectos sobre la herbivoría y el ...

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 ...
