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 ...
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 ...

Modeling microbial exchanges between forms of soil nitrogen in contrasting ecosystems
(Biogeosciences Discussions, 10(3): 5749-5780, 2013-03-25)
Although nitrogen (N) is often linked to carbon (C) in organic molecules, C is carried from the tmosphere to the soil through plants while N is carried from the soil to plants by microbial transformations. Many schemes ...
