Drivers of the differentiation between broad-leaved trees and shrubs in the shift from evergreen to deciduous leaf habit in forests of eastern Asian subtropics [PDF]

Plant Diversity, 2023
In eastern Asian subtropical forests, leaf habit shifts from evergreen to deciduous broad-leaved woody plants toward higher latitudes. This shift has been largely explained by the greater capacity of deciduous broad-leaved plants to respond to harsh ...

Evolutionary Origin of Prolonged Delayed Fertilization in the Fagaceae [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The temporal organization of flowering, fertilization, and fruiting is a fundamental axis of life‐history evolution in angiosperms. While most species complete fruit development within a single growing season (“1‐year fruiting”), many Fagaceae species ...

Differential nitrogen cycling in semiarid sub-shrubs with contrasting leaf habit. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Nitrogen (N) is, after water, the most limiting resource in semiarid ecosystems. However, knowledge on the N cycling ability of semiarid woody plants is still very rudimentary.

Highly Species-Specific Foliar Metabolomes of Diverse Woody Species and Relationships with the Leaf Economics Spectrum

Cells, 2021
Plants show an extraordinary diversity in chemical composition and are characterized by different functional traits. However, relationships between the foliar primary and specialized metabolism in terms of metabolite numbers and composition as well as ...

Leaf Venation Architecture in Relation to Leaf Size Across Leaf Habits and Vein Types in Subtropical Woody Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Leaves are enormously diverse in their size and venation architecture, both of which are core determinants of plant adaptation to environments. Leaf size is an important determinant of leaf function and ecological strategy, while leaf venation, the main ...

Characterization and chemo-taxonomic evaluation of plant leaf waxes (long chain n-alkanoic acids, n-alkanes and n-alkanols) as a vegetation biomarker from species of the South American temperate forest (STF)

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Plant leaf waxes are used as vegetation biomarkers in several archives (i.e. soils, lake and marine sediments), study of these compounds in modern plants is needed to makes their application and interpretation more robust.
