Palm hydraulics linking biodiversity and functioning of tropical forests under climate change (PalmHydraulics)

Date du début: 1 août 2016, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2018,

How do biodiversity and ecosystem functioning respond to climate change? Currently, fundamental knowledge gaps prevent us from answering this most pressing question. Global climate is largely dependent on tropical forest functioning due to the scale of plant-driven ecosystem services that they provide (water and carbon cycling). Thus, research on tropical plants is essential to address the questio ...
