Seedling survival and growth of three ectomycorrhizal caesalpiniaceous tree species in a Central African rain forest
Tree recruitment is determined in part by the survivorship and growth of seedlings. Two seedling cohorts of the threemost abundant caesalpiniaceous species forminggroves atKorup,Cameroon,were followed from1995/1997 to2002, to investigatewhyMicroberlinia bisulcata, themost abundant species, currentlyhasvery fewrecruits compared withTetraberlinia korupensisandT. bifoliolata.Numbersof seedlingsdyi...
متن کاملLeaf photosynthetic traits of 14 tropical rain forest species in relation to leaf nitrogen concentration and shade tolerance.
Variability of leaf traits related to photosynthesis was assessed in seedlings from 14 tree species growing in the tropical rain forest of French Guiana. Leaf photosynthetic capacity (maximum rate of carboxylation and maximum rate of electron transport) was estimated by fitting a biochemical model of photosynthesis to response curves of net CO2 assimilation rate versus intercellular CO2 mole fr...
متن کاملHyperspectral discrimination of tropical rain forest tree species at leaf to crown scales
We investigated the utility of high spectral and spatial resolution imagery for the automated species-level classification of individual tree crowns (ITCs) in a tropical rain forest (TRF). Laboratory spectrometer and airborne reflectance spectra (161 bands, 437–2434 nm) were acquired from seven species of emergent trees. Analyses focused on leaf-, pixeland crown-scale spectra. We first describe...
متن کاملLight-related variation in sapling architecture of three shade-tolerant tree species of the Mexican rain forest
The crown architecture of three shade-tolerant tree species (two subcanopy and one mid-canopy) was analyzed in relation to the light regime of the forest understorey. The aim was to examine to which extent shade-tolerant species variate in their crown architecture. Tree saplings (265) between 50 and 300 cm height, and distributed from understorey to variously-sized canopy gaps, were measured fo...
متن کاملChanges in photosynthesis and leaf characteristics with tree height in five dipterocarp species in a tropical rain forest.
Variations in leaf photosynthetic, morphological and biochemical properties with increasing plant height from seedlings to emergent trees were investigated in five dipterocarp species in a Malaysian tropical rain forest. Canopy openness increased significantly with tree height. Photosynthetic properties, such as photosynthetic capacity at light saturation, light compensation point, maximum rate...
