Colorimetry and chemical properties of thermally modified Parkia pendula and Simarouba amara wood [PDF]

Acta Amazonica
The thermal modification of wood is a process that alters its chemical composition, aiming to improve technological properties such as dimensional stability, reduction of equilibrium moisture content, homogeneity, or color.

Trees as net sinks for methane (CH₄ ) and nitrous oxide (N₂ O) in the lowland tropical rain forest on volcanic Réunion Island. [PDF]

New Phytol, 2021
Summary Trees are known to emit methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), with tropical wetland trees being considerable CH4 sources. Little is known about CH4 and especially N2O exchange of trees growing in tropical rain forests under nonflooded conditions. We determined CH4 and N2O exchange of stems of six dominant tree species, cryptogamic stem covers,

Large differences in leaf cuticle conductance and its temperature response among 24 tropical tree species from across a rainfall gradient. [PDF]

New Phytol, 2021
Summary More frequent droughts and rising temperatures pose serious threats to tropical forests. When stomata are closed under dry and hot conditions, plants lose water through leaf cuticles, but little is known about cuticle conductance (gmin) of tropical trees, how it varies among species and environments, and how it is affected by temperature.
