Detecting changes in the phenological responses of herbaceous species as a function of
predicted climate change is important for forecasting future scenarios for the functioning of …

Climate warming may threaten the germination strategies of many plants that are uniquely
adapted to today's climate. For instance, species that employ physical dormancy (PY)–the …

Soil water availability in the dry tropical forest varies depending on the rainfall heterogeneity,
which may be altered by future climate changes. The predicted water restrictions may modify …

The consequences of predicted climate changes are highly worrying, considering that the
dynamics of the herbaceous component of the caatinga strongly reflects the dynamics of …

Tropical forests hold most of the vascular plant life on earth. Much of our understanding on
the diversity patterns and drivers of plants in tropical forests is based on studies on trees …

Abstract In the Caatinga, a Brazilian dry forest, low water availability is a limiting factor that
affects the growth and survival of herbaceous plants. Thus, we hypothesize that simulated …

Nucleation is a technique widely used in restoration projects, but the transposition of the
seed bank in the soil with greater depth is still incipient, especially in the Caatinga Biome …

A disponibilidade de água e de luminosidade afeta as estratégias das herbáceas nas
florestas secas, sendo fatores limitantes para a sua sobrevivência. Partindo desses …

A plasticidade fenotípica é a capacidade do fenótipo de mudar sua expressão morfológica,
fisiológica e comportamental em resposta aos fatores ambientais durante o seu …
