Journal ArticleDOI

TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon Flux and Growth in Mature Deciduous Forest Trees Exposed to Elevated CO2

Christian Körner, +8 more
- 26 Aug 2005 - 
TL;DR: Free air CO2 release in combination with a canopy crane found an immediate and sustained enhancement of carbon flux through 35-meter-tall temperate forest trees when exposed to elevated CO2, but there was no overall stimulation in stem growth and leaf litter production after 4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

The physiological ecology of vascular epiphytes: current knowledge, open questions

Gerhard Zotz, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2001 - 
TL;DR: It is argued that by far the most relevant abiotic constraint for growth and vegetative function of vascular epiphytes is water shortage, while other factors such as nutrient availability or irradiation are generally of inferior importance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of natural intensities of visible and ultraviolet radiation on epidermal ultraviolet screening and photosynthesis in grape leaves.

Christiane A. Kolb, +5 more
- 01 Nov 2001 - 
TL;DR: UV-B-dependent inhibition of maximum photochemical yield of photosystem II (PSII), measured as variable fluorescence of dark-adapted leaves, recovered in parallel to the buildup of epidermal screening for UV-B radiation, suggesting that PSII is protected against UV- B damage by epider mal screening.
Journal ArticleDOI

The systematic distribution of vascular epiphytes – a critical update

Gerhard Zotz, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: A compilation of epiphytic diversity derived from a vast number of sources is presented, meant to be an important tool for studies on the ecology and evolution ofEpiphytes, but also for comparative studies with a focus on other life forms.
