Flood regime and water table determines tree distribution in a forest-savanna gradient in the Brazilian Pantanal

ABSTRACT This study aimed to recognized the preferential location of species of the tree sinusiae in response to a moisture gradient in Pantanal Matogrossense, Brazil. We established sampling plots of arboreal sinusiae along a soil moisture and flood gradient. Piezometers were installed, allowing mo...
