TL;DR: In this article, the root depth of 12 dominant tree species (representing c. 42% of the forest basal area) in a seasonal Amazon forest using the stable isotope ratios (δ¹⁸O and δ²H) of water collected from tree xylem and soils from a range of depths.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the trade-off between drought avoidance and hydraulic safety is a major axis of physiological variation across tropical ecosystems and propose a novel and independent axis of hydraulic trait variation linking vulnerability to hydraulic failure (expressed as the hydraulic safety margin (HSM)) and growth.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an extensive dataset of hydraulic traits of dominant species in two tropical Amazon forests with contrasting precipitation regimes and relate them to community and ecosystem response to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) of 2015.

TL;DR: Unveiling the relative importance and prevalence of in situ adaptation and adaptive divergence in the lineages that diversified in campo rupestres will allow us to further discuss mechanisms related to trait evolution and adaptive radiation in campos r upestres.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the existing literature on the main factors (biotic and abiotic) that influence vegetation distribution, functional traits, and ecohydrological processes and feedbacks in tropical montane ecosystems.
