Plant functional traits, in particular specific leaf area (SLA), wood density and seed mass, are
often good predictors of individual tree growth rates within communities. Individuals and …

Although many reforestation projects have attempted to mitigate deforestation in the
Philippines, most have focused on planting introduced trees, often with low success rates. A …

In order to investigate the underlying physiological mechanism of intraspecific variation in
plant growth and yield response to elevated CO2 concentration [CO2], seven cultivars of …

Key message Using an extensive dataset for 39 subtropical broadleaved tree species, we
found traits of the leaf economics spectrum to be linked to mean stomatal conductance but …

A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that we have entered the Anthropocene
Epoch. Many assert that society has exceeded sustainable ecological planetary boundaries …

With only 7.01 million hectares of remaining forested areas in the Philippines, there is an
urgency to protect these areas, while also implementing restoration strategies to increase …

Studying leaf trait variation and relationships along elevational gradients will enhance our
understanding of how plants respond to changing environmental conditions. Thus, we …

There is growing interest in multi-species tropical plantations but little information exists to
guide their design and silviculture. The Rainforestation Farming system is the oldest tropical …

Urban trees are a critical quality of life element in rapidly growing cities in tropical climates.
Tropical trees are found in a wide variety of habitats governed largely by the presence and …

We examined leaf trait variations among mixed-planting woody perennial crops in traditional
