Efecto del nitrógeno en los parámetros fotosintéticos y de producción del cultivo de la gerbera (Gerberajamesonii H. Bolus ex Hook. f.).
(ActaAgronomica doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15446/acag.v65n3.49555, 2017-02-20)
Actualmente, existe un interés por comprender los aspectos fisiológicos involucrados en la obtención de altas
producciones en diferentes cultivos y su relación con la disponibilidad de nutrientes en el sustrato. Este ...
Latitudinal and altitudinal patterns of plant community diversity on mountain summits across the tropical Andes.
(Ecography 40: DOI: 10.1111/ecog.02567, 2016-11-04)
The high tropical Andes host one of the richest alpine floras of the world, with exceptionally high levels of endemism
and turnover rates. Yet, little is known about the patterns and processes that structure altitudinal ...
Gas exchange, growth, flowering and furit production in sweet pepper (Capsicum chinenseJacq) along a thermal gradient determined by altitudinal differences in a tropical region
(Experimental Agriculture 15: doi:10.1017/S0014479715000071., 2016-04)
A common practice in some South American countries consists in moving around Capsicum chinense
cultivars between regions where edaphoclimatic conditions differ notably. The purpose of this research
was to compare and relate ...
Functional Diversity in Tropical High Elevation Giant Rosettes
(Goldstein G, Santiago LS (Eds). Tropical Tree Physiology. Springer., 2016-03-04)
Strong daily temperature variations, seasonal soil water availability and high air evaporative demands play an essential role in adaptive responses of tropical high elevation mountain plants. Giant rosettes are a perfect ...
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 ...
Estructura, diversidad y dinámica de la vegetación en el ecotono bosque-páramo: revisión de la evidencia en la Cordillera de Mérida
(2015)
En los Andes tropicales, el límite altitudinal de los bosques corresponde a una compleja zona de transición entre el bosque paramero y el páramo andino. En el límite inferior de esta zona ocurre a su vez una transición ...
Facilitation and edge effects influence vegetation regeneration in old-fields at the tropical Andean forest line
(2015)
Questions: Do local plant-plant interactions and facilitation play an important role in vegetation dynamics after disturbance in the high tropical Andes? In particular, does the dominant shrub Baccharis prunifolia have an ...
Shrubs as foundation species in a high tropical alpine ecosystem: a multi-scale analysis of plant spatial interactions
(Plant Ecology and Diversity, 2014-09)
Background: Studies on plant–plant interactions in alpine ecosystems show a strong bias for temperate vs. tropical latitudes and pay limited attention to the implications of biophysical heterogeneity beyond the local plant ...
