Tropical tree growth driven by dry-season climate variability
Zuidema, Pieter A.; Babst, Flurin; Groenendijk, Peter; Trouet, Valerie; Abiyu, Abrham; Acuña-Soto, Rodolfo; Adenesky-Filho, EduardoInterannual variability in the global land carbon sink is strongly related to variations in tropical temperature and rainfall. This association suggests an important role for moisture-driven fluctuations in tropical vegetation productivity, but empirical evidence to quantify the responsible ecological processes is missing. Such evidence can be obtained from tree-ring data that quantify variability in a major ve...
Estrutura e composição de uma vegetação ripária, relações dendrocronológicas e ...
Nogueira Júnior, Francisco de CarvalhoThis work was done in the caatinga dominium in an area of 220 hectares of forest located in the Serra dos Macacos Canyon, municipality of Tobias Barreto, in the period 2009 to 2010. The aim was to diagnose the structure, composition and coverage of vegetation for conservation purposes and conduct a survey dendrochrological trees species. We sampled about 12000 m2 of forest, divided into three plots of 4000 m2 i...
