Nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly and functional trait space in tropical forests

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 1218-1230, June 2023., 2023
Our results demonstrate that soil nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly in tropical forests, a process mediated by key functional traits within the leaf and wood economics spectrum. Functional space size and its filling increase with soil nutrient concentration, whereas niche vacancy decreases.

Forest loss and treeless matrices cause the functional impoverishment of sapling communities in old‐growth forest patches across tropical regions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 7, Page 1897-1910, July 2022., 2022
In agreement with the LMFTS hypothesis, our results confirm that landscape modifications in regions undergoing high and long‐lasting deforestation greatly impoverish the functional composition and diversity of sapling communities. The shift from communities composed mainly by conservative attributes towards communities with a higher prevalence of ...

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 ...

Functional diversity and redundancy of tropical forests shift with elevation and forest‐use intensity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 9, Page 1827-1837, September 2021., 2021
High functional diversity and functional redundancy from lowland to mid‐elevation tropical forests suggest that these ecosystems can be resilient to future disturbances. Our results indicate that the ability of high‐elevation forests may be particularly susceptible to climate change and increasing forest‐use intensity. For these high‐elevation forests,

Land‐use legacies influence tree water‐use efficiency and nitrogen availability in recently established European forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1325-1340, June 2021., 2021
A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Forest regrowth following farmland (agriculture and pasture) abandonment has been positively associated with a number of processes including the regulation of hydrological cycling, the enhancement of soil functioning and an increase in forest ...

Reacción al Fuego de Tres Maderas Angiospermas Impregnadas con Sales de Boro

open access: yesRevista Tecnológica, 2021
La madera es un material combustible, motivo por el cual es importante investigar técnicas para aumentar su resistencia al fuego. La retención de sales de boro en la madera mide la idoneidad del tratamiento de impregnación y la aptitud que tiene una ...
