Abstract Motivation Leaf traits represent an important component of plant functional strategies, and those related to carbon fixation nutrient acquisition form the leaf economics spectrum. However, observations are underrepresented in tropical regions comparison with temperate areas. Brazil, a country continental scale vast biodiversity is timely example, where many biomes impacted by human activities climate change. relevant understand vegetation responses these impacts remain poorly...
The expansion of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq, Arecaceae) crops threatens tropical rainforests. It negatively impacts a series ecosystem services and functions, including carbon (C) sequestration dynamics, as well nutrient cycling. Such negative have pressured companies to adopt conservationist practices in production. And yet the conversion from conventional organic farming has gained space last decade, studies assessing effects on functioning are still scarce. Here, we assessed how...
The variation in nitrogen use strategies and photosynthetic pathways among vascular epiphyte families was addressed a white-sand vegetation the Brazilian Central Amazon. Foliar carbon concentrations their isotopic composition (δ15N δ13C, respectively) were measured epiphytes (Araceae, Bromeliaceae Orchidaceae) host trees. tree Aldina heterophylla had higher foliar N concentration lower C:N ratio (2.1 ± 0.06% 23.6 0.8) than its dwellers. Tree δ15N differed only from that of orchids. Comparing...
Por possuírem ciclos de vida curtos, os macroinvertebrados aquáticos podem responder rapidamente às modificações ambientais, alterando a estrutura das suas populações e comunidades. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar se há relação entre composição associados bancos Eichhornia crassipes o gradiente condutividade elétrica da água biomassa raízes destes bancos. No pico cheia 2005, 21 macrófitas aquáticas flutuantes dominados por E. foram amostrados no rio Negro (baixa < 30 µS cm-1), na...
