Plant Size and Competitive Dynamics along Nutrient Gradients.
Resource competition theory in plants has focused largely on resource acquisition traits that are independent of size, such as traits of individual leaves or roots or proportional allocation to different functions. However, plants also differ in maximum potential size, which could outweigh differences in module-level traits. We used a community ecosystem model called mondrian to investigate whe...
متن کاملDivergent selection along climatic gradients in a rare central European endemic species, Saxifraga sponhemica
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The effects of habitat fragmentation on quantitative genetic variation in plant populations are still poorly known. Saxifraga sponhemica is a rare endemic of Central Europe with a disjunct distribution, and a stable and specialized habitat of treeless screes and cliffs. This study therefore used S. sponhemica as a model species to compare quantitative and molecular variation...
متن کاملClimatic Signals from Intra-annual Density Fluctuation Frequency in Mediterranean Pines at a Regional Scale
Tree rings provide information about the climatic conditions during the growing season by recording them in different anatomical features, such as intra-annual density fluctuations (IADFs). IADFs are intra-annual changes of wood density appearing as latewood-like cells within earlywood, or earlywood-like cells within latewood. The occurrence of IADFs is dependent on the age and size of the tree...
متن کاملe of some climatic factors on Ixodes ricinus ticks studied along altitudinal gradients in two geographic regions in Switzerland
In the context of climate change, the seasonal activity of questing Ixodes ricinus and their infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) were examined in relation to some climatic data along altitudinal gradients in Switzerland. The first study took place in an Alpine area (Valais) from 750 to 1020m above sea level. The other gradient was located on a mountain in the foothills of the ...
متن کاملIntra-annual radial growth and water relations of trees: implications towards a growth mechanism.
There is a missing link between tree physiological and wood-anatomical knowledge which makes it impossible mechanistically to explain and predict the radial growth of individual trees from climate data. Empirical data of microclimatic factors, intra-annual growth rates, and tree-specific ratios between actual and potential transpiration (T PET(-1)) of trees of three species (Quercus pubescens, ...
