Droughts and the ecological future of tropical savanna vegetation
M Sankaran - Journal of Ecology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is expected to lead to more frequent, intense and longer droughts in the
future, with major implications for ecosystem processes and human livelihoods. The impacts …

Water source partitioning among trees growing on shallow karst soils in a seasonally dry tropical climate
The sources of water used by woody vegetation growing on karst soils in seasonally dry
tropical regions are little known. In northern Yucatan (Mexico), trees withstand 4–6 months of …

Where do leaf water leaks come from? Trade‐offs underlying the variability in minimum conductance across tropical savanna species with contrasting growth …
R Machado, L Loram‐Lourenço, FS Farnese… - New …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Plants continue to lose water from their leaves even after complete stomatal closure.
Although this minimum conductance (gleaf‐res) has substantial impacts on strategies of …

How to live in contrasting habitats? Acquisitive and conservative strategies emerge at inter-and intraspecific levels in savanna and forest woody plants
Seasonal forests and savannas often occur side by side in Neotropical landscapes, so it is
possible to find plant species in both or in just one of these two contrasting habitats. But …

Proteaceae from phosphorus‐impoverished habitats preferentially allocate phosphorus to photosynthetic cells: an adaptation improving phosphorus‐use efficiency
Plants allocate nutrients to specific leaf cell types; eudicots are thought to predominantly
allocate phosphorus (P) to epidermal/bundle sheath cells. However, three Proteaceae …
