Plastic adjustments in xylem vessel traits to drought events in three Cedrela species from Peruvian Tropical Andean forests [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Cedrela species occur within the Tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) and rainforest in North America (Mexico), Central and South America. We assessed the hypothesis that functional xylem hydraulic architecture might be influenced by specific climatic ...

Small-fragment, high turnover: soil microenvironment fluctuation effect on tree diversity in a Neotropical montane oak forest [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Soil microenvironmental variables showed an important key in α and β-tree diversity in Neotropical montane oak forest. Thus, understanding the microenvironment fluctuation at small-fragment effects on tree diversity is crucial in maintaining ...

Detecting Nothofagus pumilio Growth Reductions Induced by Past Spring Frosts at the Northern Patagonian Andes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Extreme climatic events, such as late frosts in spring during leaf flush, have considerable impacts on the radial growth of temperate broadleaf trees. Albeit, all broadleaved species are potentially vulnerable, damage depends on the particularities of ...

Woody legacies of railroad ties from the Southern Atacama Desert used to strengthen Nothofagus obliqua tree-ring chronologies from Northern Patagonia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDuring the late Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries there was an intense exploitation of the long-lived Nothofagus obliqua forests in the temperate region of South America due to the quality of their hardwood.

Polylepis wood acclimation strategies to ENSO events [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDuring the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), heat wave variations off the High Andean Puna (HAP) cause extreme droughts at high altitudes. A better understanding of the drought susceptibility of HAP Polylepis xeric-species is needed given the ...

Low Growth Sensitivity and Fast Replenishment of Non-structural Carbohydrates in a Long-Lived Endangered Conifer After Drought [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 There is an ongoing debate on whether a drought induced carbohydrate limitation (source limitation) or a direct effect of water shortage (sink limitation) limit growth under drought.

Tree Circumference Changes and Species-Specific Growth Recovery After Extreme Dry Events in a Montane Rainforest in Southern Ecuador [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Under drought conditions, even tropical rainforests might turn from carbon sinks to sources, and tree species composition might be altered by increased mortality.

Una aproximación a la tipología de las casas de pescadores de la costa vasca durante la Edad Moderna: Zeria etxea (Hondarribia, Gipuzkoa) [PDF]
Munibe Antropologia-Arkeologia, 2022 Frente a los numerosos trabajos realizados en torno al caserío, la arquitectura vernácula de las comunidades pesqueras del País Vasco ha sido hasta la fecha muy poco estudiada. Este artículo propone una primera aproximación a esta temática, planteando el
