Distribution of juveniles of tree species along a canopy closure gradientin a tropical cloud forest of the Venezuelan Andes
(iForest, 2015-07-31)
Cloud forests represent a minor portion of the world forests, though outstanding in terms of biodiversity, endemisms, and environmental services provided. Understanding the factors that drive the regeneration and species ...
Selvas y bosques nublados de Venezuela
(Medina, E., Huber, O., Nassar, J., Navarro, P. Recorriendo el paisaje vegetal en Venezuela. Ediciones IVIC, Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas. Caracas, Venezuela. pp. 125-155, 2013)
Spatial relations and population structure of a dominant tree along a treeline ecotone in the Tropical Andes: interactions at gradient and plant-neighbourhood scales
(Plant Ecology and Diversity 6(3-4): 343-353, 2013)
Background: Studies in temperate mountains suggest that plant-plant interactions
modulate tree establishment above the forest line. In tropical mountains worldwide this
issue remains largely unexplored.
Aims: To analyse ...
Modelling competitive ability of neotropical savanna grasses: Simulation of shading and drought impacts on biomass production
(Ecological Informatis 13: 57-69, 2013)
In this paper, we develop a technique to model the spatial distribution of shoots along vertical and horizontal
dimensions of a plant community. We use it to simulate the growth of a tropical savanna near the city of ...
Seasonal gas exchange and water relations in juveniles of two evergreen neotropical savanna tree species with contrasting regeneration strategies
(Trees 25(3): 473-483, 2011)
Colonization dynamics of woody species into
grasslands in Neotropical savannas are determined by two main factors: plant-available moisture and fire. Considering
seasonality of precipitation and high fire frequency in these ...
