Stomatal conductance models in Brazilian forest plantations: genotype and environmental effects on eucalypt and pine forests
Several leaf-level models have been developed to model stomatal conductance (gs) in response to environmental factors such as CO 2 , light,...

Disappearance of an ecosystem engineer, the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari), leads to density compensation and ecological release
Given the rate of biodiversity loss, there is an urgent need to understand community-level responses to extirpation events, with two prevailing...

Shading reduced the compensation and enhancement effects of soil nutrition on the growth of cotyledon-damaged Quercus acutissima seedlings
Background and aimsCotyledons are important nutrient sources for seedling establishment in seed plants, however, the acorns are often consumed by...
