Plant communities at the periphery of the Atlantic rain forest: rare-species bias and its risks for conservation. (2009, unknown): “Perhaps more interestingly, this local dominant plant is also highly plastic as regards its ecophysiology, particularly of nitrogen use, which might explain its high abundance and vigour (Scarano et al., 2001).”
Structure, function and floristic relationships of plant communities in stressful habitats marginal to the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. (2002, background): “This is true of the bromeliads in the swamp forests (Nidularium procerum), in the restingas (Neoregelia cruenta and Aechmea nudicaulis) and in the high altitude rocky outcrops (Fernseea itatiaiae).”
Plant communities on ironstone outcrops: a diverse and endangered Brazilian ecosystem (2007, background): “Clusia, the only true dicotyledonous tree (Luttge 2004), with 12 species reported to exhibit CAM (Sayed 2001), is an important nurse plant in stressful sandy habitats at the periphery of the Atlantic rainforest complex ( Scarano 2002 ), and also plays this role in ironstone outcrops, together with b”
