Abstract: Tropical forests and savannas can co-occur in a range of macro-environmental conditions. In these conditions, disturbances and resource availability are thought to control savanna and forest transitions, although the mechanisms involved are disputed. We hypothesized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.sajb.2021.09.018
Abstract: Abstract The time for flowering and fruiting in plants is mainly influenced by environmental factors. Plant species that are subject to different environmental conditions, but phylogenetically close, such as forest and savanna congeneric species pairs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvs.12528
Abstract: Aims Savanna and forest biomes co-occur across many subtropical landscapes in Africa, and can be differentiated by their fire regime: fires are more frequent in savannas compared to forests. Bark thickness is a key trait… read more here.
