Nonstructural carbohydrates predict survival in saplings of temperate trees under carbon stress

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 2806-2818, November 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) mediate plant survival when the plant's carbon (C) balance is negative, suggesting that NSCs could predict plant survival under C stress.

Broad‐scale wood degradation dynamics in the face of climate change: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 941-958, August 2022., 2022
Using a meta‐analysis, we reviewed the effects of tree attributes and local climate on the time‐since‐death of coarse woody debris ranging in decomposition states. Our results suggest that warming will accelerate wood decomposition and significantly decrease the residence time in decay stages, leading to a decreased temporal window during which dead ...

Retrospective analysis of wood anatomical traits and tree‐ring isotopes suggests site‐specific mechanisms triggering Araucaria araucana drought‐induced dieback

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 24, Page 6394-6408, December 2021., 2021
Araucaria araucana wood anatomical traits evidenced a deterioration of the hydraulic system in declining trees. This pattern is site‐specific and started many decades before canopy dieback. In Chile, declining trees showed higher WUEi in the last 200 years, indicating an earlier stomatal closure to avoid water loss, and a potential greater carbon ...

The world's southernmost tree and the climate and windscapes of the southernmost forests

open access: yesEcography, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 14-24, January 2021., 2021
The world's southernmost tree has been documented along with the condition and growth pattern of the world's southernmost forest on Isla Hornos, Chile. The distribution of trees at broad scales is strongly influenced by the abiotic environment and determining the position and condition of tree limits around the world is an important way to monitor ...

Pollen morphology of Nothofagus (Nothofagaceae, Fagales) and its phylogenetic significance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Nothofagaceae (southern beeches) are a relatively small flowering plant family of trees confined to the Southern Hemisphere. The fossil record of the family is abundant and it has been widely used as a test case for the classic hypothesis that Antarctica,

First data about the use of wooden resources during the early holocene in the Beagle Channel estudio arqueobotánico del sitio Imiwaia I (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Este trabajo tiene por objetivo estudiar el uso de los recursos vegetales leñosos llevado a cabo por sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras que habitaron el sitio Imiwaia I (costa norte del canal Beagle) durante el Holoceno temprano. Los resultados alcanzados

The influence of canopy-layer composition on understory plant diversity in southern temperate forests

open access: yesForest Ecosystems, 2017
Background Understory plants represents the largest component of biodiversity in most forest ecosystems and plays a key role in forest functioning. Despite their importance, the influence of overstory-layer composition on understory plant diversity is ...
