The forest–savannah transition is the most widespread ecotone in tropical areas, separating
two of the most productive terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we review current understanding of …

Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado is recognized as one of the most threatened biomes in the
world, as the region has experienced a striking change from natural Cerrado vegetation to …

Understanding and predicting the relationship between leaf temperature (Tleaf) and air
temperature (Tair) is essential for projecting responses to a warming climate, as studies …

Aim (1) To estimate the local and global magnitude of carbon fluxes between savanna and
the atmosphere, and to suggest the significance of savannas in the global carbon cycle.(2) …

ABSTRACT A comparative study on stomatal control under water deficit was conducted on
grapevines of the cultivars Grenache, of Mediterranean origin, and Syrah of mesic origin …

ABSTRACT A strong relationship between hydraulic supply of water to leaves and maximum
photosynthetic capacity was found in a group of seven conifers and 16 angiosperm species …

Aim This paper presents a spatial classification of the environmental and ecological diversity
of the cerrado region of Brazil, as well as an appraisal of the levels of conversion to …

Summary 1 Water is a key resource in tropical savannas. Changes in vegetation structure
due to land‐use change and increased fire frequency may affect the availability of water and …

Plant hydraulic conductance, namely the rate of water flow inside plants per unit time and
unit pressure difference, varies largely from plant to plant and under different environmental …

Functional convergence in hydraulic architecture and water relations, and potential trade-
offs in resource allocation were investigated in six dominant neotropical savanna tree …
