• Premise of the study: The function of most ecosystems has been altered by human
activities. To asses the recovery of plant communities, we must evaluate the recovery of …

Predawn leaf water potential (psipd) and morning values of leaf gas exchange, as net
photosynthesis (A), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration (E), and morning leaf water …

This study evaluated the photosynthetic responses of seven tropical trees of different
successional groups under contrasting irradiance conditions, taking into account changes in …

Key message Habitat fragmentation influences leaf morphology, quantity and quality of plant
resources to herbivores, which in turn affects the patterns of fluctuating asymmetry and …

In tropical forests, light is considered the most limiting resource for plant growth and
reproduction. Besides light, water deficit leads invariably to a decrease in photosynthesis …

Deforestation of tropical forests has been a critical issue affecting climate change mitigation
and biodiversity conservation. Reforestation strives to remedy this situation, yet it is futile as …

Uma parte da ciência denominada Complexidade vem se desenvolvendo rapidamente
durante os últimos 15 anos e as aplicações de tais ferramentas às Ciências Vegetais são …

Daily courses of leaf gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence in forest gap and
understorey environments were used to build photosynthetic networks in two pioneers and …

We hypothesized that more complex, ie irregular, temporal dynamics and a more
interconnected overall network supports greater stability to gas exchange parameters …

Tropical dry forests are among the most threatened ecosystems in the world. After habitat
perturbation occurs, the habitat recovers naturally through ecological succession. This …
