Leaf gas exchange in canopy species of a Venezuelan cloud forest
(Biotropica 41(6): 659-664, 2009-11)
Tropical cloud forests are considered humid ecosystems with frequent cloud cover down to the ground surface. However, seasonal variation in precipitation may induce
short-term water stress. For canopy leaves, this water ...
Coupling soil water and shoot dynamics in three grass species: A spatial stochastic model on water competition in Neotropical savanna
(Ecological Modelling 220: 2734 - 2743, 2009-10-24)
Savannas are ecosystems known for their high environmental and economic value. They cover at least 20% of the global land surface and, in some cases, can act as a boundary between tropical rainforest and deserts.Water is ...
Low temperature resistance in saplings and ramets of Polylepis sericea in the Venezuelan Andes
(Acta Oecologica 35(5): 610–613, 2009-10)
The frequent occurrence of all year-round below zero temperatures in tropical high mountains constitutes a most stressful climatic factor that plants have to confront. Polylepis forests are found well above
the continuous ...

Functional characterisitcs of the arborescent genus Polylepis along a latitudinal gradient in the high Andes
(Interciencia 32(10): 663-668, 2007-09)
Polylepis is a genus restricted to the Andean Mountain Range, naturally occurring above the upper continuous forest limit. The purpose of this work was to integrate and compare
functional characteristics in terms of water ...

(Wütherich, Dirk † ; Azócar, Aura; García, Nuñez, Carlos and Silva, Juan F. )
Abstract
The dispersal system of Palicourea ...
Relaciones hídricas e intercambio de gases en Theobroma cacao var. Guasare bajo períodos de déficit hídrico
(2005)
Se evaluó las relaciones hídricas y el intercambio de gases en Theobroma cacao var. Guasare bajo períodos de déficit
hídrico. Se midieron las variables microclimáticas (temperatura del aire, humedad relativa y radiación ...
Seasonal variations in leaf gas exchange of platain cv. Hartón (Musa AAB) under different soil water conditions in a himid tropical region
(2005)
The seasonal effect of soil water availability on leaf gas exchange of plantain plants cv. Hartón growing on two different texture soils (loamy and clayey) were evaluated. Soil water deficits corresponded to 48, 24 and 4 ...
Seed dispersal in Palicourea rigida H.B.K, a common treelet species from neotropical savannas
(2001)
The dispersal system of Palicourea rigida (Rubiaceae), a common
woody species of neotropical savannas, was studied in a seasonal Venezuelan savanna.
Production and consumption of fruits, dispersal agents, feeding ...
