Stress tolerance and ecophysiological ability of an invader and a native species in a seasonally dry tropical forest.

Stress tolerance and ecophysiological ability of an invader and a native species in a seasonally dry tropical forest.

Ecophysiological traits of Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. and a phylogenetically and ecologically similar native species, Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan, were studied to understand the invasive species' success in caatinga, a seasonally dry tropical forest ecosystem of the Brazilian North...
