Diameter growth performance varies with species functional-group and habitat characteristics in subtropical rainforests
We examined tree diameter growth in 20 plots subjected to various disturbance intensities (natural, low, moderate and intensive logging) in a bid to understand the general tree growth responses in relation to habitat characteristics in subtropical rainforests of north-eastern NSW, Australia. Species-specific regeneration strategy, maximum size and level of shade tolerance were used to classify ...
متن کاملResponses of temperate woody seedlings to shade and drought: do trade-offs limit potential niche differentiation?
Diversity in seedling responses to combined shade and drought can drive species niche differences, and thus natural forest and scrub establishment dynamics and diversity. However, inherent trade-offs between shade tolerance and drought tolerance, as hypothesized in the literature, would constrain potential niche differentiation. For thirteen species of European trees and shrubs the impacts were...
متن کاملInterspecific Demographic Trade-Offs and Soil-Related Habitat Associations of Tree Species along Resource Gradients
1. Interspecific relationships between fundamental demographic rates, often called demographic trade-offs, emerge from constraints within individuals related to morphology, physiology and resource allocation. Plant species that grow fast in high light usually have high mortality in shade, and this well-established relationship in part defines a species’ successional niche. More generally, this ...
متن کاملSapling structure and regeneration strategy in 18 Shorea species co-occurring in a tropical rainforest.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inevitable trade-offs in structure may be a basis for differentiation in plant strategies. Juvenile trees in different functional groups are characterized by specific suites of structural traits such as crown architecture and biomass distribution. The relationship between juvenile tree structure and function was tested to find out if it is robust among functionally and taxon...
متن کاملHydraulics and life history of tropical dry forest tree species: coordination of species' drought and shade tolerance.
Plant hydraulic architecture has been studied extensively, yet we know little about how hydraulic properties relate to species' life history strategies, such as drought and shade tolerance. The prevailing theories seem contradictory. We measured the sapwood (K(s) ) and leaf (K(l) ) hydraulic conductivities of 40 coexisting tree species in a Bolivian dry forest, and examined associations with fu...
