The rapid increase in body size and abundance of most species inside Management and Exploitations Areas for Benthic Resources (MEABRs) has led to the proposal of these areas as a good complement for achieving the conservation objectives of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). However, when evaluating MEABRs and MPAs as conservation and/or management tool...

The lack of specific research on the sequence of events that determine plant growth from meristem until wood formation represents a gap in the knowledge of growth dynamics in woody species. In this work, we surveyed published studies concerning cambial activity of Brazilian native species aiming at allowing the comparison of applied methods and obt...

Woody flora of cloud forest (BMM) in Tamaulipas has different taxa with respect to other BMM in Mexico. Consequently, wood anatomical characters of its species can also express this variability, related to environment and the linages to which they belong. In this paper, wood anatomy of 12 species growing in of the BMM at "El Cielo" Biosphere reserv...

Forests in the wet tropics harbour an incredible biodiversity, provide many ecosystem services and regulate climatic conditions on regional scales. Tropical forests are also a major component of the global carbon cycle, storing 25% of the total terrestrial carbon and accounting for a third of net primary production. This means that changes in fores...

Morphology, morphometry and growth rings of the otoliths: sagitta, asteriscus and lapillus of Diapterus brevirostris from Cuyutlán Lagoon in Colima, Mexico were studied. The samples were obtained from the commercial catch from April 2010 to July 2012. Right and left and sex differences of the three pairs of otoliths were analyzed. Relations between...

The hygroscopic behavior of wood has a strong influence on its mechanical performance, yet the moisture gradients within the growth ring structure have not been sufficiently investigated. The main challenge is that moisture variations are coupled with strong sample deformation, which complicates the spatial referencing of moist and dry states. In t...

The objective of this study was to improve the knowledge on the annual growth rates of Geoffreea decorticans (chañar), to define the evolution of annual growth increment (IR), diameter at breast height (DAP), normal section (DN) with age, to estimate mean annual (IMA) and annual increment (IA) in order to propose guidelines for proper management of...

Realizing the consequences of global warming, scientists are currently engaged in understanding the causes and mitigation measures of this phenomenon. One of the important criteria to understand the present pattern of climate is the study of past climate. To reconstruct past climate, analysis of ice cores, lake sediments, peat bogs, ocean floor and...

ABSTRACT There is a great demand for wood within tropical natural forests and a scarcity of available data to carry out a management program. It is of great importance, therefore, that growth ring information is being enhanced. The Pantanal of Nhecolândia, sub-region of Pantanal Mato-grossense, may be viewed as one of these regions. Its natural for...
