Tropical forest canopies are the biosphere's most concentrated atmospheric interface for carbon, water and energy1,2. However, in Earth System Models, diverse heterogeneous tropical biome is represented as a largely uniform ecosystem with either singular or small number of fixed canopy ecophysiological properties3. This situation arises, part, from lack understanding about how why functional properties vary geographically4. Here, by combining field-collected data more than 1,800 vegetation...
Abstract Wood density is a critical control on tree biomass, so poor understanding of its spatial variation can lead to large and systematic errors in forest biomass estimates carbon maps. The need understand how why wood varies especially tropical America where forests have exceptional species diversity turnover composition. As identity composition are challenging estimate remotely, ground surveys essential know the trees, whether measured directly or inferred from their identity. Here, we...
Ecological restoration through conventional plantation techniques can create forests with low biodiversity. As such, one way to overcome possible shortcomings of the process is use nucleation techniques, such as artificial perches. These structures attract avifauna and increase deposition seeds associated feces or bird regurgitation. Seed rain seedlings regeneration were monitored under perches control areas in a degraded area Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. In this study, 46 morphospecies...
Studies have identified the central region of Brazilian Atlantic Forest as an area high biodiversity and endemism. Strong anthropogenic pressure has made protected areas in Rio de Janeiro State important sites for conservation they contain many extreme biological importance. We sought to document qualitatively describe arboreal species composition Tinguá Biological Reserve by examining collection data herbaria at Instituto Pesquisas Jardim Botânico do (RB) Universidade Federal Rural (RBR)....
Abstract The adaptations of plants to different environments are closely related their wood anatomical traits. This study investigated the anatomy a montane forest community and compared it with data from three other areas in Atlantic Forest biome (montane lowland forest). Samples 23 species were processed analyzed according standard techniques. Quantitative xylem traits measured conductivity parameters calculated. Wood for 76 obtained previous studies incorporated into analyses. Shared...
Abstract Ocotea catharinensis occurs mainly in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and is highly threatened by timber logging, forest fragmentation, habitat loss. The remnant populations of this species are genetically rich, which may be related to presence long-lived trees, so it imperative understand their growth age. In study, we analyzed trees O. from dense ombrophylous forest, its dendrochronological potential, period cambial activity dormancy, influence climate on annual growth. showed...
