Geospatial data and web based tools for managing irrigation infrastructure expansion projects

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 388-403, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Improving irrigation infrastructure is important for sustaining food security in developing countries like India. The irrigation potential of a system is estimated at the planning phase using conventional approaches. A mismatch in the irrigation potential planned to be created and the land suitable for cultivation can lead to a gap in the ...

Seasonality regulates the structure and biogeochemical impact of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities across environmentally divergent neotropical dry forests

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 1598-1613, August 2023., 2023
These results highlight the importance of seasonality and plant community composition in shaping different aspects of SDTF ECM fungal community structure and diversity as well as the potential for both the plant and fungal components of ECM symbioses to impact soil functioning across heterogenous SDTFs.

Floristic diversity, composition and dominance across Amazonian forest types respond differently to latitude

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 685-698, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The latitudinal biodiversity gradient is considered a first‐order biogeographical pattern for most taxonomic groups. Latitudinal variation in plant diversity is not always consistent, and this could be related to the particular characteristics of different forest types.

Functional diversity of experimental annual plant assemblages drives plant responses to biological soil crusts in gypsum systems

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 488-503, March 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological soil crusts (BSC) are complex biotic aggregates comprised of lichens, cyanobacteria, algae and other micro‐organism that are known to differently affect plant development along life cycle by selecting plant functional traits based on species‐specific effects.

Water chemistry variation in tropical high‐mountain lakes on old volcanic bedrocks

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 7, Page 1522-1536, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Water chemistry and its ecological implications have been extensively investigated in temperate high‐mountain lakes because of their role as sentinels of global change. However, few studies have considered the drivers of water chemistry in tropical mountain lakes underlain by volcanic bedrock.

Plant chemical diversity and its frequency have distinct but complementary effects on insect foraging

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1362-1371, May 2022., 2022
Whereas previous work investigates how the amount of chemical diversity in a plant population influences insect ecology, our results indicate that local spatial distribution of diversity is equally important. A key implication of this work is the potential to design cultivar mixtures spatially, at the movement scale of target organisms, to create more ...

Variation of non‐structural carbohydrates across the fast–slow continuum in Amazon Forest canopy trees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 341-355, February 2022., 2022
A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Tropical tree species span a range of life‐history strategies within a fast–slow continuum. The position of a species within this continuum is thought to reflect a negative relationship between growth and storage, with fast‐growing species allocating ...

Structural and compositional dimensions of phytochemical diversity in the genus Piper reflect distinct ecological modes of action

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 57-67, January 2022., 2022
Crude extract 1H NMR diversity synthesizes the compositional diversity and structural complexity of phytochemical mixtures. Plants can develop chemical diversity through different combinations of structural and compositional biosynthetic mechanisms; thus, methods incorporating both dimensions of phytochemical diversity can provide new theoretical ...

Variation in biomass allocation and root functional parameters in response to fire history in Brazilian savannas

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 4143-4157, December 2021., 2021
Fire stimulated the increase of absorptive root biomass in the upper soil layer in response to the higher demand for below‐ground resources, but did not promote modification of morphological root parameters. Differences in morphological root parameters reflected variation in soil properties, especially soil P, as well as differences in graminoid ...

Exposición a químicos disruptores endócrinos obesogénicos y obesidad en niños y jóvenes de origen latino o hispano en Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica: una perspectiva del curso de la vida

open access: yesObesity Reviews, Volume 22, Issue S5, Octubre 2021., 2021
Resumen En el 2019, en seguimiento a un taller dirigido por el Global Health Studies del Fogarty International Center sobre el tema de la prevención de la obesidad infantil y las sinergias de investigación que surgen a través de las colaboraciones transfronterizas, convocamos a un grupo de expertos de Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica para que realizaran ...
