Phenotypic Expression of Diaspores Indicates Genetic Diversity in Natural Populations of <i>Spondias tuberosa</i> (Anacardiaceae). [PDF]
Biology (Basel)The aim of this study was to assess phenotypic variation and its implications for genetic diversity in natural populations of Spondias tuberosa. Fruits were harvested from 38 mother plants from three natural populations, and the physical traits of the fruits, endocarps, and physiological quality of the seeds were evaluated in a completely randomized ...

Litter Dynamics and Nutrient Stocks in a Chronosequence of Hyperxerophilous Forest Under the Effect of Clear Felling. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated litter accumulation and nutrient stocks across a forest regeneration chronosequence in hyperxerophilous Caatinga following clear‐cutting. Using multivariate statistics and structural decomposition indices, we identified functional litter profiles and their association with nutrient cycling and soil resilience. Our findings highlight how
