Abstract
Plant thermoregulation is essential for understanding the potential effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. This study provides evidence indicating variation of leaf functional traits and leaf-to-air temperature across the elevation gradient. These results support the existence of distinct plant adaptations for thermoregulation across different elevation zones.
Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.
期刊介绍:
Ranked by the ISI index, Biotropica is a highly regarded source of original research on the ecology, conservation and management of all tropical ecosystems, and on the evolution, behavior, and population biology of tropical organisms. Published on behalf of the Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation, the journal''s Special Issues and Special Sections quickly become indispensable references for researchers in the field. Biotropica publishes timely Papers, Reviews, Commentaries, and Insights. Commentaries generate thought-provoking ideas that frequently initiate fruitful debate and discussion, while Reviews provide authoritative and analytical overviews of topics of current conservation or ecological importance. The newly instituted category Insights replaces Short Communications.
