Lüttge, Ulrich; Scarano, Fabio R.; de Mattos, Eduardo A.; Franco, Augusto C.; Broetto, Fernando; Dias, André T. C.; Duarte, Heitor M.; Uehlein, NorbertMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:02:10Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-12-01; Key message: Plasticity of ecophysiological acclimation determines habitat occupation of species ofClusiain an Atlantic rainforest of Brazil. Ecophysiological performance is not sufficient for explaining widespread versus locally restricted distribution of species among physiognomic sub-sites within the...
Climate seasonality limits leaf carbon assimilation and wood productivity in tr...
Wagner, Fabien H.; Hérault, Bruno; Bonal, Damien; Stahl, Clément; Anderson, Liana Oighenstein; Baker, Timothy R.; Sebastian Becker, GabrielThe seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique combination of seasonal pan-tropical data sets from 89 experimental sites (68 include aboveground wood productivity measurements and 35 litter productivity measurements), their associated canopy p...
Seed germination and seedling development in response to submergence in tree sp...
Melo, Risolandia Bezerra de; Franco, Augusto C.; Silva, Clovis Oliveira; Piedade, Maria Teresa Fernandez; Ferreira, Cristiane SilvaSuccessful germination and seedling establishment are crucial steps for maintenance and expansion of plant populations and recovery from perturbations. Every year the Amazon River and its tributaries overflow and flood the adjacent forest, exerting a strong selective pressure on traits related to seedling recruitment.We examined seed characteristics, stored reserves, germination, seedling development and surviv...
Flood tolerance in two tree species that inhabit both the Amazonian floodplain ...
Pires, Hérica Ribeiro Almeida; Franco, Augusto C.; Piedade, Maria Teresa Fernandez; Scudeller, Veridiana Vizoni; Kruijt, Bart J.Comparing plants of the same species thriving in flooded and non-flooded ecosystems helps to clarify the interplay between natural selection, phenotypic plasticity and stress adaptation. We focussed on responses of seeds and seedlings of Genipa americana and Guazuma ulmifolia to substrate waterlogging or total submergence. Both species are commonly found in floodplain forests of Central Amazonia and in seasonal...
