Bartholomew,Leandro Valle Ferreira,Steel Silva Vasconcelos,Fernanda de V. Barros,Fernanda de V. Barros,João de Athaydes Silva Junior,Alex A. R. Oliveira,Maurizio Mencuccini,Patrick Meir,Patrick Meir,Lucy Rowland +18 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that Amazonian trees, both small and large, have limited capacity to acclimate their hydraulic systems to future droughts, potentially making them more at risk of drought-induced mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil types select for plants with matching nutrient-acquisition and -use traits in hyperdiverse and severely nutrient-impoverished campos rupestres and cerrado in Central Brazil

Journal ArticleDOI
Specialized roots of Velloziaceae weather quartzite rock while mobilizing phosphorus using carboxylates
Grazielle Sales Teodoro,Grazielle Sales Teodoro,Hans Lambers,Diego Luciano do Nascimento,Patrícia de Britto Costa,Patrícia de Britto Costa,Denisele N. A. Flores-Borges,Anna Abrahão,Anna Abrahão,Juliana Lischka Sampaio Mayer,Alexandra Christine Helena Frankland Sawaya,Francisco Sergio Bernardes Ladeira,Dalton Belchior Abdala,Carlos A. Pérez,Rafael S. Oliveira,Rafael S. Oliveira +15 more
TL;DR: The investigated roots show novel morphological and physiological specializations, coined vellozioid roots, which are highly effective at P acquisition, which play a pivotal role in rock weathering, contributing to shaping the campos rupestres landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought stress and tree size determine stem CO2 efflux in a tropical forest
Lucy Rowland,Antonio Carlos Lola da Costa,Alex A. R. Oliveira,Rafael S. Oliveira,Paulo R. L. Bittencourt,Patrícia de Britto Costa,Andre L. Giles,Azul I. Sosa,Ingrid Coughlin,John L. Godlee,Steel Silva Vasconcelos,João de Athaydes Silva Junior,Leandro Valle Ferreira,Maurizio Mencuccini,Patrick Meir,Patrick Meir +15 more
TL;DR: Under future scenarios of elevated drought, increases in CO 2_stem may augment carbon losses, weakening or potentially reversing the tropical forest carbon sink, however, stand‐scale future estimates of changes in stem CO 2 emissions remain highly uncertain.
