Epiphytic biomass of a tropical montane forest varies with topography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The spatial heterogeneity of tropical forest epiphytes has rarely been quantified in terms of biomass. In particular, the effect of topographic variation on epiphyte biomass is poorly known, although forests on ridges and ravines can differ drastically ...

Molecular phylogenetics of Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Melastomataceae are among the most abundant and diversified groups of plants throughout the tropics, but their intrafamily relationships and morphological evolution are poorly understood. Here we report the results of parsimony and maximum likelihood (ML)

Maturity mountain rainforest syntaxa from Sierra Maestra, Eastern Cuba [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In the Sierra Maestra the rainforests occupied mountains territories between 800 and 1 500 meters above sea level (mosl). By using the Zurich Montpellier school methodology one new order are described, Clethro cubensis- Cyrilletalia silvae&

Systematics of the fleshy‐fruited Sonerileae (Melastomataceae)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 39-65, February 2025.
Abstract With approximately 1080 species, Sonerileae is the second‐largest tribe in the Melastomataceae. Approximately 40% of the Sonerileae species belong to fleshy‐fruited genera (Catanthera, Heteroblemma, Kendrickia, Medinilla, Pachycentria, Plethiandra).

Regional scale representation based on a detailed floristic inventory in a one hectare plot in the tropical Andes

open access: yesColombia Forestal, 2015
Floristic composition of vascular plants and their distribution is reported for growth habits in a low montane rain forest (2600 m and 2500 mm/yr mean annual precipitation) in the northern Andes, based on a plot of 1 ha. The samples collected represented

Environmental conditions differently shape leaf, seed and seedling trait composition between and within elevations of tropical montane forests

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2024, Issue 11, November 2024.
The composition of plant functional traits varies in response to environmental conditions due to processes of community assembly and species sorting. However, there is a lack of understanding of how plant trait composition responds to environmental conditions at different spatial scales and across the plant life cycle.

Above‐ and belowground strategies of tropical montane tree species are coordinated and driven by small‐scale nitrogen availability

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 1364-1377, June 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The question whether the strategies of above‐ and belowground plant organs are coordinated as predicted by the plant economics spectrum theory is still under debate. We aim to determine the leading dimensions of tree trait variation for above‐ and belowground functional
