Plant functional types broadly describe water use strategies in the Caatinga, a seasonally dry tropical forest in northeast Brazil. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
Plant functional types in the Caatinga seasonally dry forests can be defined according to phenology and wood density. Our work demonstrates that there is a tight correspondence between these plant function types and water use strategies. Abstract In seasonally dry tropical forests, plant functional type can be classified as deciduous low wood density ...

Medicinal Plants for the Treatment of Local Tissue Damage Induced by Snake Venoms: An Overview from Traditional Use to Pharmacological Evidence. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2017
Snakebites are a serious problem in public health due to their high morbimortality. Most of snake venoms produce intense local tissue damage, which could lead to temporary or permanent disability in victims. The available specific treatment is the antivenom serum therapy, whose effectiveness is reduced against these effects.
