Linking leaf traits and litter flammability using a novel framework, tested with Brazilian Cerrado trees

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1247-1261, May 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In tree‐dominated ecosystems, the behaviour of surface fires is largely controlled by the structure of fine fuels. Because leaves make up most of the fine fuels, the traits of those leaves—their size, shape and leaf area for a given mass—help determine the impacts of ...

Adubação de cobertura na batata-doce com doses combinadas de nitrogênio e potássio. [PDF]

, 2013
Resumo: A adubação balanceada de N e K frequentemente aumenta o desempenho das lavouras, contudo, a falta de um desses nutrientes em solos deficientes pode levar a decréscimos na resposta ao outro. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a produtividade de

Evaluating endophyte‐rich leaves and leaf functional traits for protection of tropical trees against natural enemies

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 371-389, February 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants use physical barriers and chemical compounds to defend themselves against natural enemies. For instance, tough leaves are considered to be better defended than soft leaves, part of a spectrum of defences defined by functional traits such as leaf chemistry ...

Testing the contribution of vertebrate predators and leaf traits to mainland–island differences in insect herbivory on oaks

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 140-154, January 2025.
The authors explored how insularity influences herbivory in oaks across island–mainland sites. By experimentally excluding vertebrate predators (e.g. birds, bats) and measuring leaf traits (e.g. phenolics, specific leaf area, nutrients), they provide insights into the mechanisms driving island–mainland herbivory patterns.

Stoichiometric patterns in foliar nutrient resorption across multiple scales [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2012
• Nutrient resorption is a fundamental process through which plants withdraw nutrients from leaves before abscission. Nutrient resorption patterns have the potential to reflect gradients in plant nutrient limitation and to affect a suite of terrestrial ecosystem functions.

Tree species abundance changes at the edges of their climatic distribution: An interplay between climate change, plant traits and forest management

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 12, Page 2785-2797, December 2024.
Our research emphasizes the crucial impact of historical forest management in shaping the current distribution of tree species. After controlling for the effect of forest management, climate change directly influenced tree demographics, favouring species based on their traits.

Differential responses of community‐level functional traits to mid‐ and late‐season experimental drought in a temperate grassland

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 10, Page 2292-2306, October 2024.
These findings suggest that functional trait composition of grassland communities may shift under climate change‐induced drought, depending on the growing season timings. Trait‐based attempts to predict ecosystem functioning must account for such temporal variation in community trait values.
