Canopy CO2 exchange of two neotropical tree species exhibiting constitutive and facultative CAM photosynthesis, Clusia rosea and Clusia cylindrica

Winter, Klaus; Garcia, Milton N.; Holtum, Joseph A. M. (2009)

Photon flux density (PFD) and water availability, the daily and seasonal factors that vary most in tropical environments, were examined to see how they influenced expression of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in 3-year-old ...
A comparison of daily water use estimates derived from constant-heat sap-flow probe values and gravimetric measurements in pot-grown saplings

Mcculloch, M.; Winter, Klaus; Meinzer, Frederick C.; Garcia, Milton N.; Aranda, Jorge E.; Lachenbrunch, B. (2007)
Drought-stress-induced up-regulation of CAM in seedlings of a tropical cactus, Opuntia elatior, operating predominantly in the C3 mode

Winter, Klaus; Garcia, Milton N.; Holtum, Joseph A. M. (2011)

Immediately after unfolding, cotyledons of the tropical platyopuntoid cactus, Opuntia elatior Mill., exhibited a C3-type diel CO2 exchange pattern characterized by net CO2 uptake in the light. Significant nocturnal increases ...
Growth Irradiance Effects on Photosynthesis and Growth in Two Co-Occurring Shadetolerant Neotropical Perennials of Contrasting Photosynthetic Pathways

Skillman, John B.; Garcia, Milton N.; Virgo, Aurelio; Winter, Klaus (2005)
High-Light Stress Does Not Impair Biomass Accumulation of Sun-Acclimated Tropical Tree Seedlings (Calophyllum longifolium Willd. and Tectona grandis L. F.)

Krause, G. Heinrich; Galle, Alexander; Virgo, Aurelio; Garcia, Milton N.; Bucic, P.; Jahns, P.; Winter, Klaus (2006)
Multiple nutrients limit litterfall and decomposition in a tropical forest

Kaspari, Michael E.; Garcia, Milton N.; Harms, Kyle Edward; Santana, Mirna; Wright, S. Joseph; Yavitt, Joseph B. (2008)

Abstract To explore the importance of 12 elements in litter production and decomposition, we fertilized 36 1600 m2-plots with combinations of N, P, K, or micronutrients (i.e. B, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, S, Zn) for 6 years ...
On the Nature of Facultative and Constitutive CAM: Environmental and Developmental Control of CAM Expression During Early Growth of Clusia, Kalanchoe, and Opuntia

Winter, Klaus; Garcia, Milton N.; Holtum, Joseph A. M. (2008)
Photoprotection, Photosynthesis and Growth of Tropical Tree Seedlings Under Near-Ambient and Strongly Reduced Solar Ultraviolet-B Radiation

Krause, G. Heinrich; Jahns, Peter; Virgo, Aurelio; Garcia, Milton N.; Aranda, Jorge E.; Wellmann, Eckard; Winter, Klaus (2007)
Potassium, phosphorus, or nitrogen limit root allocation, tree growth, or litter production in a lowland tropical forest

Wright, S. Joseph; Yavitt, Joseph B.; Wurzburger, Nina; Turner, Benjamin L.; Tanner, Edmund V. J.; Sayer, Emma J.; Santiago, Louis S.; Kaspari, Michael E.; Hedin, Lars O.; Harms, Kyle Edward; Garcia, Milton N.; Corre, Marife D. (2011)

We maintained a factorial nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) addition experiment for 11 years in a humid lowland forest growing on a relatively fertile soil in Panama to evaluate potential nutrient limitation ...
Responses of legume versus non-legume tropical tree seedlings to elevated [CO2]

Cernusak, Lucas A.; Winter, Klaus; Martinez, Carlos; Correa, Edwin; Aranda, Jorge; Garcia, Milton N.; Jaramillo, Carlos A.; Turner, Benjamin L. (2011)

We investigated responses of growth, leaf gas exchange, carbon-isotope discrimination, and whole-plant water-use efficiency to elevated [CO2] in seedlings of five leguminous and five non-leguminous tropical tree species. ...
Seasonal changes and treatment effects on soil inorganic nutrients following a decade of fertilizer addition in a lowland tropical forest

Turner, Benjamin L.; Yavitt, Joseph B.; Harms, Kyle Edward; Garcia, Milton N.; Romero, Tania; Wright, S. Joseph (2013)
Seasonal changes in soil organic matter after a decade of nutrient addition in a lowland tropical forest

Turner, Benjamin L.; Yavitt, Joseph B.; Harms, Kyle E.; Garcia, Milton N.; Wright, S. Joseph (2015)

Soil organic matter is an important pool of carbon and nutrients in tropical forests. The majority of this pool is assumed to be relatively stable and to turn over slowly over decades to centuries, although changes in ...
Soil phosphorus responses to chronic nutrient fertilisation and seasonal drought in a humid lowland forest, Panama

Mirabello, M. J.; Yavitt, J. B.; Garcia, Milton N.; Harms, Kyle Edward; Turner, Benjamin L.; Wright, S. Joseph (2013)
Transpiration efficiency over an annual cycle, leaf gas exchange and wood carbon isotope ratio of three tropical tree species

Cernusak, Lucas A.; Winter, Klaus; Aranda, Jorge E.; Virgo, Aurelio; Garcia, Milton N. (2009)

Variation in transpiration efficiency (TE) and its relationship with the stable carbon isotope ratio of wood was investigated in the saplings of three tropical tree species. Five individuals each of Platymiscium pinnatum ...
Tropical tree seedling growth responses to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium addition

Santiago, Louis S.; Wright, S. Joseph; Harms, Kyle Edward; Yavitt, Joseph B.; Korine, Carmi; Garcia, Milton N.; Turner, Benjamin L. (2012)

1. Nutrients are a critical resource for plant growth, but the elements limiting growth in tropical forests have rarely been determined. 2. We investigated the influence of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium(K) and ...
Two tropical conifers show strong growth and water-use efficiency responses to altered CO2 concentration

Dalling, James W.; Cernusak, Lucas A.; Winter, Klaus; Aranda, Jorge; Garcia, Milton N.; Virgo, Aurelio; Cheesman, Alexander W.; Baresch, Andres; Jaramillo, Carlos A.; Turner, Benjamin L. (2016)
Variable Responses of Lowland Tropical Forest Nutrient Status to Fertilization and Litter Manipulation

Sayer, Emma J.; Wright, S. Joseph; Tanner, Edmund V. J.; Yavitt, Joseph B.; Harms, Kyle Edward; Powers, Jennifer S.; Kaspari, Michael E.; Garcia, Milton N.; Turner, Benjamin L. (2012)

Predicting future impacts of anthropogenic change on tropical forests requires a clear understanding of nutrient constraints on productivity. We compared experimental fertilization and litter manipulation treatments in an ...
Whole-Plant Consequences of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism for a Tropical Forest Understory Plant

Skillman, John B.; Garcia, Milton N.; Winter, Klaus (1999)
