Increasing severity and frequency of drought is predicted for large portions of the terrestrial
biosphere, with major impacts already documented in wet tropical forests. Using a 4‐year …

To avoid reaching lethal temperatures during periods of heat stress, plants may acclimate
either their biochemical thermal tolerance or leaf morphological and physiological …

Climate change models predict an increase in frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme
climatic events, such as severe droughts. These changes can influence plant reproductive …

Geonoma cuneata is a variable species with eight subspecies and one of two palms
worldwide with a gall record. In this species, staggered flowering has been suggested as a …

Abstract Macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex Mart. Arecaceae) is a novel oil
crop with wide industrial applicability. However, little is known about the photosynthetic …

Mauritia flexuosa is an ecologically and economically important Amazonian palm. It has an
expanded distribution to flooded ecosystems (“veredas”) in the markedly seasonal Cerrado …

With higher frequency and intensity of droughts predicted for many tropical forests,
understanding the responses of plants and animals to changed climatic conditions will be …

Our aim here was to evaluate the effects of drought stress on plant growth rate, biomass
production, and physiological traits of endemic Euterpe species (Euterpe precatoria Mart …

Climate change is expected to increase the intensity and occurrence of drought in tropical
regions, potentially affecting the phenology and physiology of tree species. Phenological …

Concentration of carbon dioxide as the main greenhouse gas has been increasing, which
has serious impacts on climate change, ecosystem, and human health. This study uses the …
