Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1522-1534, May 2026.Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.

The Fossil higher plants from the Canal Zone [PDF]
, 1918 Fossil flora described in the present report is too limited for purposes of exact correlation, which may be expected to be settled by the marine faunas present at most horizons in the Isthmian region.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Climate change is projected to sharply reduce suitable habitats for eight endemic rupestrian plant species in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. Ensemble niche models reveal species‐specific vulnerabilities and highlight climatic refugia and corridors that may support persistence.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Conceptual representation of topographic gradients in Amazonian igapó forests. High, medium, and low igapós differ in elevation and flood duration, with low igapós experiencing the longest periods of inundation. Fungal mycelia and DNA symbols indicate sampling of root‐associated mycorrhizal communities across the gradient, used to assess the influence ...
