Soil resources and functional trait trade-offs determine species biomass stocks and productivity in a tropical dry forest by Blanca Luz Caleño-Ruiz, Blanca Luz Caleño-Ruiz, Fabian Garzón, René López-Camacho, Camila Pizano, Viviana Salinas, Roy González-M

“…We evaluated how the spatial variation of soil resource availability (soil nutrient and water content) and plant functional traits determine species biomass stocks and productivity in a Colombian tropical dry forest, based on spatially explicit soil sampling and an intensive plant trait characterization of 89 species in three 1-ha permanent plots with similar climate and floristic composition. Within each plot, we measured nine soil variables and ten functional traits and quantified forest biomass stocks and productivity for 10,161 individual trees in a period of 3 years. …”

A LiDAR-based approach for a multi-purpose characterization of Alpine forests: an Italian case study by Alberti G, Boscutti F, Pirotti F, Bertacco C, De Simon G, Sigura M, Cazorzi F, Bonfanti P

“…In fact, a significant difference in floristic diversity indexes (species richness - R, Shannon index - H’) was found among structural classes, particularly between pole wood (R=15 and H’=2.8; P <0.01) and multilayer forest (R=31 and H’=3.4) or thicket (R=28 and H’=3.4) where both indexes reached their maximum values.…”

Anthropogenic changes in environmental conditions of phytocoenoses of medium sized-sized Ukrainian river valleys (based on the example of the River Tyasmyn – a tributary of the Dni... by V. V. Lavrov, O. I. Blinkova, N. V. Miroshnyk, Т. О. Grabovska

“…The biomorphological range of phytodiversity of the Tyasmyn valley is characterized by a high proportion of adventive and ruderal species, dominance of vegetative mobile species and disturbed distribution of all spectrum types for coenotic morphs. Depletion of the floristic composition and formation of monodominant groups in the middle of the valley were found. …”
