Structural, physiognomic and above-ground biomass variation in savanna-forest t...
Veenendaal, Elmar M.; Torello-Raventos, Mireia; Feldpausch, Ted R.; null, Tomas; Gerard, France F.; Schrodt, Franziska; Saiz, GustavoThrough interpretations of remote-sensing data and/or theoretical propositions, the idea that forest and savanna represent "alternative stable states" is gaining increasing acceptance. Filling an observational gap, we present detailed stratified floristic and structural analyses for forest and savanna stands located mostly within zones of transition (where both vegetation types occur in close proximity) in Afri...
Convergence in relationships between leaf traits, spectra and age across divers...
Wu, Jin; Chavana-Bryant, Cecilia; Prohaska, Neill; Serbin, Shawn P.; Guan, Kaiyu; Albert, Loren P.; Yang, Xi; Van Leeuwen, Willem Jan DirkLeaf age structures the phenology and development of plants, as well as the evolution of leaf traits over life histories. However, a general method for efficiently estimating leaf age across forests and canopy environments is lacking. Here, we explored the potential for a statistical model, previously developed for Peruvian sunlit leaves, to consistently predict leaf ages from leaf reflectance spectra across tw...
