Tropical rainforest gaps and tree species diversity
JS Denslow - Annual review of ecology and systematics, 1987 - JSTOR
Evolutionary hypotheses about how so many species of tropical rainforest trees might have
arisen include (a) genetic drift (71),(b) habitat specialization (8) in benign environments, or …

The hydraulic architecture of trees and other woody plants
summary In this paper, we have reviewed how the hydraulic design of trees influences the
movement of water from roots to leaves. The hydraulic architecture of trees can limit their …
