Ecological thresholds at the savanna‐forest boundary: how plant traits, resources and fire govern the distribution of tropical biomes

Hoffmann, W. A., Geiger, E. L., Gotsch, S. G., Rossatto, D. R., Silva, L. C. R., Lau, O. L., … Franco, A. C. (2012, May 4). Ecology Letters, Vol. 15, pp. 759–768.

topics (OpenAlex): Fire effects on ecosystems; Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies; Rangeland and Wildlife Management
TL;DR: Based on data from central Brazil, it is proposed that these interactions are governed by two critical thresholds; the fire-resistance threshold is reached when individual trees have accumulated sufficient bark to avoid stem death, and theFire-suppression threshold is reach when an ecosystem has sufficient canopy cover to suppress fire by excluding grasses.

Allocation to leaf area and sapwood area affects water relations of co-occurring savanna and forest trees

Gotsch, S. G., Geiger, E. L., Franco, A. C., Goldstein, G., Meinzer, F. C., & Hoffmann, W. A. (2010, January 7). Oecologia, Vol. 163, pp. 291–301.

author keywords: Leaf area index; Huber value; Sap flow; Brazil; Cerrado
MeSH headings : Biomass; Brazil; Droughts; Ecosystem; Geography; Plant Leaves / physiology; Plant Roots / physiology; Plant Stomata / physiology; Seasons; Species Specificity; Trees / classification; Trees / physiology; Water / analysis; Water / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics; Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies; Plant and animal studies
TL;DR: Despite significant differences in water relations, relationships between traits such as wood density and minimum ΨL were indistinguishable for the two species groups, indicating that forest and savanna share a common axis of water-use strategies involving multiple traits.
