Environmental filters and functional adjustments of species to local conditions are major
determinants of plant communities in stressing habitats. We set out to understand the role of …

Changes in atmospheric CO2 levels are accompanied by ecological interactions involving
other environmental factors, such as drought, which can severely alter the water balance of …

Changes in temperature and the deposition of potential pollutants in the soil, such as heavy
metals, may damage plant communities, altering their physiological processes. High …

This study looked at the potential of thermal comfort provided to animals by four different
Brazilian savanna (Cerrado) native trees, as well as their potential for carbon sink. The …

Water use efficiency (WUE) is a tracer for plants on the trade-off exchange of water and
carbon dioxide between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere; therefore, a dynamic …
