Wood Nutrient-Water-Density Linkages Are Influenced by Both Species and Environment
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Tropical trees store a large amount of nutrients in their woody tissues, thus triggering the question of what the functional association of these elements with other wood traits is. Given the osmotic activity of mineral elements such as potassium, sodium,

A reassessment of carbon content in tropical trees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Accurate knowledge of carbon (C) content in live wood is essential for quantifying tropical forest C stocks, yet generic assumptions (such as biomass consisting of 50% carbon on a weight/weight basis) remain widely used despite being supported by little ...

Tree species differ in plant economic spectrum traits in the tropical dry forest of Mexico.
PLoS ONE, 2023 In tropical dry forests, studies on wood anatomical traits have concentrated mainly on variations in vessel diameter and frequency. Recent research suggests that parenchyma and fibers also play an important role in water conduction and in xylem hydraulic
