Contributions of Leguminosae to young and old stands of neotropical forests under different environmental conditions

Abstract: & Key message Potentially nodulating Leguminosae species had high density and biomass in young stands of forests in Northeast Brazil, except in a dry forest on a low-fertility soil. & Context Leguminosae species, especially potentially nodulating ones, appear to be important components of tropical secondary forests, although information is still scarce concerning their contributions to richness and biomass under different environmental conditions. & Aims To evaluate the contribution of Leguminosae to the above… Show more

“…By contrast, the woody legume components of tropical dry regions, interpreted as representing the ancestral legume ecology (Lewis et al, 2005; but see Bouchenak-Khelladi et al, 2010; Raven & Axelrod, 1974), are overwhelmingly nodulating (Ardley & Sprent, 2021). RNS has accordingly been interpreted as foundational to the prominent early-successional function of the legumes in tropical dry forests (Costa et al, 2021). Loss of RNS, by contrast, has been interpreted as a response to changing environmental conditions that disfavor the substantial required photosynthetic investment in symbiosis (Griesmann et al, 2018).…”
