Development of forest structure and leaf area in secondary forests regenerating on abandoned pastures in Central Amazonia [PDF]
The area of secondary forest (SF) regenerating from pastures is increasing in the Amazon basin; however, the return of forest and canopy structure following abandonment is not well understood. This study examined the development of leaf area index (LAI),

Understanding plant responses to drought: how important is woody tissue photosynthesis? [PDF]
Within trees, it is known that a part of the respired CO2 is assimilated in chlorophyll-containing stem and branch tissues. However, the role of this woody tissue photosynthesis in tree functioning remains unclear, in particular under drought stress ...
