Lauraceae Along an Altitudinal Gradient in Southern Brazil [PDF]
Floresta e Ambiente, 2019 ABSTRACT We performed a phytosociological study on an altitudinal gradient in Lauráceas State Park (Parque Estadual das Lauráceas/PR), aiming to describe the Montane Atlantic Rain Forest, to verify the importance of Lauraceae, and to evaluate the communities’ successional stage.

Thermal tolerance, climatic variability and latitude [PDF]
, 2000 The greater latitudinal extents of occurrence of species towards higher latitudes has been attributed to the broadening of physiological tolerances with latitude as a result of increases in climatic variation.
