Plant functional traits and soil carbon sequestration in contrasting biomes
Plant functional traits control a variety of terrestrial ecosystem processes, including soil
carbon storage which is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Plant traits regulate net …

In situ temperature response of photosynthesis of 42 tree and liana species in the canopy of two Panamanian lowland tropical forests with contrasting rainfall regimes
Tropical forests contribute significantly to the global carbon cycle, but little is known about
the temperature response of photosynthetic carbon uptake in tropical species, and how this …

Tropical tree seedling growth responses to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium addition
1. Nutrients are a critical resource for plant growth, but the elements limiting growth in
tropical forests have rarely been determined. 2. We investigated the influence of nitrogen …

Energetics and the evolution of carnivorous plants—Darwin's 'most wonderful plants in the world'
Carnivory has evolved independently at least six times in five angiosperm orders. In spite of
these independent origins, there is a remarkable morphological convergence of carnivorous …
