Tropical Montane Cloud Forests Have High Resilience to Five Years of Severe Soil Drought. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
A 5‐year throughfall exclusion experiment in a Peruvian tropical montane cloud forest reduced soil moisture by 69%, leading to lower photosynthetic inputs and autotrophic respiration but maintaining net primary productivity and carbon sink capacity. Trees responded through metabolic downregulation, reduced fruit production, increased wood density, and ...

Intraspecific Trait Variation in Tree Species Responds to Environmental Heterogeneity at Range-Wide but Not Local Scales. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here we explore the relationship between ITV, spatial and temporal environmental heterogeneity, and the breadth of species' environmental distributions for 33 tree species across eight sites across marked environmental gradients in Puerto Rico. Species with greater across‐site ITV in wood density and LMA occurred over broader ranges of potential ...
