Gas exchange, growth, flowering and furit production in sweet pepper (Capsicum chinenseJacq) along a thermal gradient determined by altitudinal differences in a tropical region
(Experimental Agriculture 15: doi:10.1017/S0014479715000071., 2016-04)
A common practice in some South American countries consists in moving around Capsicum chinense
cultivars between regions where edaphoclimatic conditions differ notably. The purpose of this research
was to compare and relate ...
Functional Diversity in Tropical High Elevation Giant Rosettes
(Goldstein G, Santiago LS (Eds). Tropical Tree Physiology. Springer., 2016-03-04)
Strong daily temperature variations, seasonal soil water availability and high air evaporative demands play an essential role in adaptive responses of tropical high elevation mountain plants. Giant rosettes are a perfect ...
Shrubs as foundation species in a high tropical alpine ecosystem: a multi-scale analysis of plant spatial interactions
(Plant Ecology and Diversity, 2014-09)
Background: Studies on plant–plant interactions in alpine ecosystems show a strong bias for temperate vs. tropical latitudes and pay limited attention to the implications of biophysical heterogeneity beyond the local plant ...

La evolución de la investigación ecológica en los páramos de Venezuela: múltiples visiones de un ecosistema único
(Medina, E., Huber, O., Nassar, J., Navarro, P. Recorriendo el paisaje vegetal en Venezuela. Ediciones IVIC, Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas. Caracas, Venezuela. pp 173-209, 2013)
La investigación ecológica en los páramos venezolanos tiene más de 40 años de desarrollo. A partir de los trabajos pioneros durante los años setenta, se han venido consolidando una serie de líneas de investigación que han ...
Water relations and gas exchange in Coespeletia moritziana (Sch. Bip) Cuatrec., a giant rosette species of the high tropical Andes
(Photosynthetica 50: 429-436, 2012-04-26)
Giant rosettes are ones of the most striking features of the vegetation in the high tropical Andes, with Coespeletia moritziana reaching the highest altitudes up to 4,600 m a.s.l. Different from other giant rosettes, this ...

Frost resistance was compared in five species of different life forms in the neotropical woody bamboo genus Chusquea growing along a cloud forest-paramo gradient, between 2250-4010 m a.s.l. in the Venezuelan Andes. C. ...
Análisis morfofuncional de tres bambúes leñosos del ecotono selva nublada-páramo en Los Andes Venezolanos
(SABER-ULA, 2011-06)
Chusquea purdieana, C. serrulata y C. spencei son los tres bambúes leñosos más comunes en los Andes venezolanos, las dos primeras son trepadoras del bosque nublado y la tercera es un arbusto asociado al bosque preparamero-arbustal ...
¿Cómo responde la especie leñosa Vaccinum Meridionale a la temperatura en su límite altitudinal de distribución en Los Andes tropicales?
(SABER-ULA, 2011-06)
La ocurrencia del límite arbóreo es un fenómeno global que implica un cambio en la dominancia de formas de vida. La importancia de la temperatura como determinante de este límite ecológico ha sido reconocida, pero hasta ...
