Bark water affects the isotopic composition of xylem water in tropical rainforest trees by Adriana Vega Grau, John Herbohn, Susanne Schmidt, Jeffrey McDonnell, Jeffrey McDonnell, Jeffrey McDonnell

“…Results suggest that bark-xylem water exchange throughout the diel transpiration cycle affects the isotopic composition of xylem water in tropical rainforest trees. Furthermore, variations in δ2H and δ18O between xylem and bark were more pronounced in a deep-rooted, more isohydric species with dense wood than in a shallow-rooted, more anisohydric species with low wood density. …”

Demographic rates and diversity vary with tree stature and ontogenetic stage in an African tropical rainforest by Moses B. Libalah, Sabrina E. Russo, George B. Chuyong, Duncan Thomas, David Kenfack

“…Abstract The vertical gradient of light in closed‐canopy forests selects for trees with different adult statures, but our understanding of how stature affects forest diversity and demography is unclear. In a species‐rich rainforest in Cameroon, we quantified the contributions of four growth forms of increasing adult stature (treelet, understory, canopy, emergent species) to forest structure and diversity, and investigated variation in life history trade‐offs across growth forms. …”
