Successional Growth Dynamics of Woody Saplings in Tropical Dry Forest Understory

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.
The factors that drive sapling growth in tropical dry forest succession remain unclear. Growth rates are higher in the early stages of succession and then decrease. Light and not water seems to be the main factor limiting sapling growth along succession. The successional guild of species and the taxonomic identity as a Leguminosae were the main factors

Evaluación del estado sucesional de un bosque subtropical de quebradas en el norte de Uruguay

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2003
Con el objetivo de determinar el estado sucesional de una formación forestal subtropical luego de haber sido explotada selectivamente con fines madereros, se comparó la estructura actual de la misma con la de una zona contigua que no fue explotada y que ...

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Allocation Strategies in a Chronosequence of Tropical Dry Forests: Plant Coordination and Environmental Drivers

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2025.
We explored the allocation strategies of N and P in leaves and fine roots (metabolic organs) and, in stems and coarse roots (woody organs) of nine dominant tree species in secondary tropical dry forests using scaling analysis. The scaling relationships of P versus N concentrations in non‐leaf organs were isometric across secondary succession and ...

Aridity and forest age mediate landscape scale patterns of tropical forest resistance to cyclonic storms

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 53-67, January 2025.
These findings show that selection towards drought‐tolerant traits across aridity gradients, such as short stature and dense wood, enhances resistance to hurricanes. However, forest age modulated responses to hurricanes, with older forests being less resistant across the islands.

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.

Valoración de la restauración de ecosistemas afectados por la Central Hidroeléctrica Yacyretá (Corrientes, Argentina): Los licófitos y helechos como parámetros

Ecología Austral
La construcción de la Represa Hidroeléctrica Yacyretá impactó de manera notable en los ecosistemas aledaños. Para mitigar estos efectos, la Entidad Binacional Yacyretá creó áreas protegidas, como la Reserva Natural Rincón de Santa María (RNRSM) y la ...

PicoCam: High‐resolution 3D imaging of live animals and preserved specimens

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, Page 1980-1989, November 2024.
Abstract The PicoCam system is a multi‐camera photogrammetry rig used for generating high‐resolution 3D models of animals in the field, or preserved specimens in laboratory or museum settings. The digital measurement of 3D models is increasingly useful for studying body shape. However, methods that capture sub‐millimetric detail often do so at the cost

Land use history and landscape forest cover determine tropical forest recovery

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2365-2381, October 2024.
Both a higher land use intensity and fragmented forest landscape decreases the speed of forest recovery, indicating that human actions and landscape transformation shape the course of succession. Restoration in fragmented forest landscapes through natural regeneration is more suitable in areas with low previous land use intensity, higher forest ...
