Functional traits help predict post-disturbance demography of tropical trees

In this paper, we extend Loreau & Hector’s (2001) method to complex functional traits by clearly identifying ecologically meaningful weighting coefficients which represent species

The “Sequence_source” file shows the GenBank reference number of each DNA-region sequence together with the data source (either GenBank or WOODIV); the sources of the samples

2c, inhibition of SRK activity occurred only if the soluble extract was added at the beginning of the reaction indicating that it prevents SRK phosphorylation rather

We then tested for the effects of disturb- ance (individual tree pruning and debarking, Model 1), intraspecific functional trait variation (Model 2) on tree absolute growth rate

We conclude that both sets of information, tree species’ (a) adult abundance and population structure and (b) plant traits, can help us to predict tree species’ CNR and their

Furthermore, we suspect that the tree growth response to climate is associated with the growth strategies of tropical trees, fast growing species being more affected by fast changes

Leaves of wheat seedlings growing in strong soil with normal water and nutrient availability were shorter than those on plants in weaker soil, and this restriction in leaf growth
