Abstract: Abstract Washingtonia palms occur scattered in oases and canyons of the larger Sonoran Desert from lat. 24° to lat. 34° N. Northern oases have an arid temperate climate while those in the south experience seasonally… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2020.112043
Abstract: Abstract Imaging spectroscopy is a valuable tool for mapping canopy foliar traits in forested ecosystems at landscape and larger scales. Most efforts to date have involved two-dimensional mapping of traits, typically representing top-of-canopy conditions. However,… read more here.

Abstract: Forest canopies are complex and highly diverse environments. Their diversity is affected by pronounced gradients in abiotic and biotic conditions, including variation in leaf chemistry. We hypothesised that branch-localised defence induction and vertical stratification in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.996750
Abstract: Plant intraspecific trait variation (ITV) including sex-dependent differences are matters of many ecological consequences, from individual to ecosystem, especially in endangered and rare species. Taxus fuana is an endangered dioecious species with small and isolated… read more here.

Morphological variation of leaf traits in the Ternstroemia lineata species complex (Ericales: Penthaphylacaceae) in response to geographic and climatic variation

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.8307
Abstract: Variation in leaf morphology is correlated with environmental variables, such as precipitation, temperature and soil composition. Several studies have pointed out that individual plasticity can largely explain the foliar phenotypic differences observed in populations due… read more here.
