Limited thermal acclimation of photosynthesis in tropical montane tree species [PDF]
AbstractThe temperature sensitivity of physiological processes and growth of tropical trees remains a key uncertainty in predicting how tropical forests will adjust to future climates. In particular, our knowledge regarding warming responses of photosynthesis, and its underlying biochemical mechanisms, is very limited. We grew seedlings of two tropical

Ilex decapetala (Aquifoliaceae), a new holly species from Vietnam revealed by molecular and morphological approaches [PDF]
A new species, Ilex decapetala, is described and illustrated from central Vietnam. It is distinguished by its female flowers with (8–)9–10(–11) pink petals (mostly 10); such a high floral merism is rare within the genus and, on top of this rarity, no ...

Endophytic Fungal Species in Tropical Trees: A Review
Pathogenic fungi are common in forest ecosystems which cause diseases and sometimes death of plants, while some fungi live inside trees harmlessly without causing issues. Sometimes, plants benefit from the presence of those endophytic fungi, such as gaining resistance to environmental stresses, protection from harmful pathogens etc.

The assembly and interactions of tree species in tropical forests based on spatial analysis
Tree species were assembled into forest communities by various processes, and it was found that trees are spatially arranged in a community by the abiotic and biotic conditions within that community.

Tropical and subtropical dendrochronology: Approaches, applications, and prospects
Tropical and subtropical forests cover only 7 % of the Earth’s land surface. Yet, they host nearly half of global tree density with a high species number (∼40,000 species), store up to 25 % of global terrestrial carbon and represent one-third of net ...
