Ecology, Volume 97, Issue 10, Page 2772-2779, October 2016., 2016 Abstract Many studies suggest that biodiversity may be particularly important for ecosystem multifunctionality, because different species with different traits can contribute to different functions. Support, however, comes mostly from experimental studies conducted at small spatial scales in low‐diversity systems.

How many years of monitoring are needed to determine plantation success in the context of restoration?: overview in relation to microsites and seed provenance [PDF]
, 2015 Muchos estudios a campo sobre el éxito de reforestación reportan monitoreos que varían desde meses hasta unos pocos años, asumiendo que ese período es representativo del desempeño de los individuos a largo plazo.

Journal of Nanomaterials, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized with hydroxyl groups (MWCNTs‐OH) have been incorporated into polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and urea‐formaldehyde (UF) adhesives utilized in tropical wood gluing. The Raman spectroscopy, the atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to describe the MWCNTs‐OH.

Silvopastoral Systems Enhance Soil Quality in Grasslands of Colombia
Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 In the tropical drylands of Colombia, the soils subjected to traditional systems of livestock production are severely degraded and depleted of plant nutrients. Multistrata silvopastoral systems are viable alternatives to improve livestock production; however, it is unknown whether these systems can reduce the negative environmental impacts of ...

Tree species controls over nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in a wet tropical forest
Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Wet tropical forests play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle, but given current rates of land‐use change, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) limitation could reduce productivity in regenerating forests in this biome. Whereas the strong controls of climate and parent material over forest recovery are well known, the influence of ...

Wood nutrients: Underexplored traits with functional and biogeochemical consequences
New Phytologist, Volume 244, Issue 5, Page 1694-1708, December 2024.Summary Resource storage is a critical component of plant life history. While the storage of nonstructural carbohydrates in wood has been studied extensively, the multiple functions of mineral nutrient storage have received much less attention. Here, we highlight the size of wood nutrient pools, a primary determinant of whole‐plant nutrient use ...
