Different “metabolomic niches” of the highly diverse tree species of the French Guiana rainforests
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-63891-y
Abstract: Tropical rainforests harbor a particularly high plant diversity. We hypothesize that potential causes underlying this high diversity should be linked to distinct overall functionality (defense and growth allocation, anti-stress mechanisms, reproduction) among the different sympatric… read more here.
