Journal ArticleDOI
A reappraisal of the use of DMSO for the extraction and determination of chlorophylls a and b in lichens and higher plants
TL;DR: In this article, the use of DMSO for the extraction and determination of chlorophylls a and b in lichens and higher plants was reevaluated, and the problem of degradation resulting from the presence of acidic lichen substances was specifically addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation on forecasts of species range shifts under climate change
Fernando Valladares,Fernando Valladares,Silvia Matesanz,François Guilhaumon,François Guilhaumon,Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Luis Balaguer,Marta Benito-Garzón,William K. Cornwell,Ernesto Gianoli,Ernesto Gianoli,Mark van Kleunen,Daniel E. Naya,Adrienne B. Nicotra,Hendrik Poorter,Miguel A. Zavala +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that when population differentiation is accounted for and dispersal is restricted, forecasts of species range shifts under climate change are even more pessimistic than those using the conventional assumption of homogeneously high plasticity across a species' range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low leaf-level response to light and nutrients in Mediterranean evergreen oaks: a conservative resource-use strategy?
TL;DR: It is suggested that the low leaf-level responsiveness found here is part of a conservative resource use strategy, which seems to be adaptive for evergreen woody plants in Mediterranean-type ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The greater seedling high-light tolerance of Quercus robur over Fagus sylvatica is linked to a greater physiological plasticity
Fernando Valladares,José Manuel Chico,Ismael Aranda,Luis Balaguer,Pierre Dizengremel,Esteban Manrique,Erwin Dreyer +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a greater tolerance of strong irradiance is linked to an enhanced physiological plasticity (variables related to photosynthesis), while shade tolerance relies on an enhanced plasticity in light-harvesting variables (crown morphology and chlorophyll content).
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy dissipation in drought-avoiding and drought-tolerant tree species at midday during the Mediterranean summer
TL;DR: The drought-avoiding and drought-tolerant species employed different mechanisms for coping with excess light during the midday depression in photosynthesis that involved contrasting midday photochemical efficiencies of PSII and different degrees of dynamic photoinhibition as a photo-protective mechanism.
