Climate change, particularly extreme rainfall, imposes stress on plants, which can be assessed using fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in leaves and key leaf traits. FA, is defined as random deviations symmetrical structures, a known bioindicator of environmental stress. Additionally, area (LA) specific (SLA) provide insights into plant responses to stressors. Mangrove plants have several mechanisms cope with constant flooding rainy periods. However, under rainfall conditions, their adaptive...
Natural selection favors the allocation of finite resources to different functions maximizing fitness. In this sense, some may decrease whereas others increase when are limited in a process called trade-off. However, great variety situations obscure trade-off detection clonal plants, such as ability generate offspring by growth that represents opportunities for resource uptake. The aim work was evaluate if integration and availability mediate biomass patterns E. crassipes through greenhouse...
