Reinstatement and generic reassignment of Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat (Phyllanthaceae) based on living plant observations and specimen analysis

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat has been treated as a synonym of P. pulcher Wall. ex Müll. Arg. (syn. Nymphanthus glaucescens (Miq.) R.W.Bouman) since 1987. Through detailed morphological observations of living plants and critical examinations of type materials and additional specimens, this study revealed that the two taxa are morphologically very ...

Functional Trait Variation and Reverse Phenology in the Tropical Dry Forest Species Bonellia nervosa

Plants
Bonellia nervosa is an understory tree with reverse phenology in tropical dry forests (TDFs), where seasonal water and temperature stress typically shape plant phenology and trait expression. This species is heliophytic and phreatophytic, relying on high

Uncertainties involved in leaf fall phenology detected by digital camera

Ecological Informatics, 2015
Abstract We evaluated the uncertainty in the estimation of year-to-year variability in the timing of leaf fall detected by the analysis of red, green and blue (RGB) values extracted from daily phenological images in a deciduous broad-leaved forest in Japan.

Taxonomic identities of Coelogyne roseans, C. chen‐tsii and C. niana (Coelogyninae, Orchidaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The taxonomic identities of Coelogyne roseans (= Pholidota roseans) and C. niana (= P. niana) have long been misunderstood. Our findings indicate that C. chen‐tsii (= P. longipes) is conspecific with C. niana, consequentially C. chen‐tsii is reduced to a synonym of C. niana. Although C. roseans and C.

Leaf water relations reflect canopy phenology rather than leaf life span in Sonoran Desert trees

, 2021
Plants from arid environments display covarying traits to survive or resist drought. Plant drought resistance and ability to survive long periods of low soil water availability should involve leaf phenology coordination with leaf and stem functional ...

Breynia phuongiana (Phyllanthaceae), a new species from the Central Highlands of Vietnam

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species, Breynia phuongiana (Phyllanthaceae subgen. Sauropus), is described and illustrated from the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It is morphologically similar to B. beillei, B. bonii, and B. thorelii, but differs in having oblong‐elliptic leaves, sepals marked with reddish striations, an androphore exceeding 1 mm in length, and distinctly ...

Phenology of two Ficus species in seasonal semi-deciduous forest in Southern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
We analyzed the phenology of Ficus adhatodifolia Schott ex Spreng. (23 fig tree) and F. eximia Schott (12 fig tree) for 74 months in a remnant of seasonal semi-deciduous forest (23°27’S and 51°15’W), Southern Brazil and discussed their importance to ...

A wheat canopy model linking leaf area and phenology

, 2003
The accurate simulation of leaf area in wheat models is important because leaf area intercepts light and stores nitrogen, and the arrangement of leaves influences the transmission of foliar diseases and inter-species competition. In this paper, we report

Divergence in the sensitivity of woody leaf unfolding phenology to daytime and nighttime temperatures

Ecological Processes
Background Plant phenology plays an important role in regulating carbon and water cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. Rising temperatures have a profound impact on vegetation phenology in the northern hemisphere, advancing spring phenology and delaying ...
