Surface water and groundwater interactions in salt marshes and their impact on plant ecology and coastal biogeochemistry
Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological
services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as …

The other side of tropical forest drought: do shallow water table regions of Amazonia act as large‐scale hydrological refugia from drought?
Tropical forest function is of global significance to climate change responses, and critically
determined by water availability patterns. Groundwater is tightly related to soil water through …

Direct evidence for phosphorus limitation on Amazon forest productivity
HFV Cunha, KM Andersen, LF Lugli, FD Santana… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
The productivity of rainforests growing on highly weathered tropical soils is expected to be
limited by phosphorus availability. Yet, controlled fertilization experiments have been unable …
