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 ...
Can leaf spectroscopy predict leaf and forest traits along a peruvian tropical forest elevation gradient?
(Agu Publications, 2017-11)
High‐resolution spectroscopy can be used to measure leaf chemical and structural traits. Such leaf traits are often highly correlated to other traits, such as photosynthesis, through the leaf economics spectrum. We measured ...
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 ...
Reproductive phenology differs between evergreen and deciduous species in a Northeast Brazilian savanna
(Soc Botanica Brasil, 2018-07-01)
Evergreen (EG) and deciduous (DEC) species exhibit distinct strategies to overcome dry periods and achieve adequate water status for reproduction and growth. Such particularities may result in distinct reproductive strategies ...
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 ...
Hyperspectral reflectance as a tool to measure biochemical and physiological traits in wheat
(Oxford University PressSociety for Experimental Biology, 2018)
Leaf paraheliotropism in Styrax camporum confers increased light use efficiency and advantageous photosynthetic responses rather than photoprotection
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2011-04-01)
Styrax caporum is a native shrub from the Brazilian savanna. Most of its leaves are diaheliotropic, whereas some are paraheliotropic, mainly at noon. A previous study of this species revealed higher stomatal conductance ...
