Isotopic Composition of Soil and Xylem Water Across Six Seasonal Floodplain Forests in Southeastern Brazil

Ecohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 5, July‐August 2025.
ABSTRACT Seasonal floodplain forests are unique but threatened ecosystems. Trees in these ecosystems have adapted to extreme conditions of excess water and drought. However, what water sources these trees use is not fully known and therefore the vulnerability of floodplain forests to changes in the hydrological cycle remains poorly understood.

In vitro Storage Delays the Maturation of African Mahogany (Khaya senegalensis) Clones

Journal of Plant Sciences, 2013
This study determined whether in vitro storage of Khaya senegalensis clones could delay their maturation and increase their capacity for adventitious rooting. Forestry trees display the desired traits of high adventitious rooting, rapid stem growth and long internodes when they are propagated from juvenile rather than mature explants.

[First description of Sclerotium coffeicola on African mahogany in Mexico].

Revista Argentina de microbiologia, 2019
A foliar disease was detected in the commercial plantation of Khaya senegalensis with three years of age in Huimanguillo, Tabasco, Mexico. Through the morphological and molecular characterization and the compliance of the Koch's postulates, it was concluded that the causal agent corresponds to the fungus Sclerotium coffeicola.

Biomass Production and Nutritional Sustainability in Different Species of African Mahogany

Forests
Wood from reforestation gains market value due to its sustainable and legal origin. Planted forests in Brazil play a crucial role in economic, social and environmental aspects, with Eucalyptus and Pinus dominating the timber sector. However, non-majority species, such as those of the Khaya genus, have attracted great commercial interest due to the ...
