A systematic review of leaf and wood traits in the Neotropics: environmental gradients and functionality Trees (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Gustavo Viana de Freitas, Maura Da Cunha, Angela Pierre Vitória
Key message Resource-limited environments showed a tendency towards conservative and coupled leaf and wood traits, while displaying an acquisitive and decoupled pattern in resource-rich ones. Water and elevation were the most studied gradients. Abstract In the Neotropics, spatial and temporal environmental gradients subject plants to distinct abiotic conditions, requiring functional adjustments. This

Could different structural features affect flammability traits in Mediterranean forest ecosystems? Trees (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-29
Abstract Key message Mediterranean forest stands manifest diverse flammability traits according to their potential ecological successional stage and promoting a gradient from flammable to less flammable ecosystem. From a general consideration of vegetation as ‘fuel’, it has been well proven that plant traits have the potential to promote the forest stand gradient from flammable to less flammable. While
