Diversity of hydraulic-functional traits of Amazonian forest types in times of hydrological climate change Description This ATTO sub-project aims to describe and quantify the vulnerability of the most important tree species of different forest types in eastern Amazonia to climate-hydrological changes along a climatic gradient.
Revealing the diversity of Copaifera oil-resin trees for Apuí, a threatened region in southern Amazonas, Brazil Description Taxonomic studies that address morphological and ecological aspects of both trees and seedlings, integrating additional tools to facilitate accurate identification, are extremely necessary, as is the case of the Amazonian species of Copaifera.
Fruits, seeds, and seedlings of Neotropical Chrysophylloideae species (Sapotaceae) Description The aim of this project was to assess the potential of fruit, seed and seedling characters to support clades in the phylogeny of the Chrysophylloideae subfamily in the Neotropics.

Morphology of fruits, seeds and seedlings of Lecythidoideae Description Due to the lack of morphological studies focused on the fruits, seeds, and especially seedlings of Amazonian Lecythidoideae, this project had the following objectives: to describe in detail the morphology of these structures based on the development and function of each organ; to review the morphology of fruits and seeds from newly collected material and supplement previous descriptions; to evaluate the use of these characteristics for taxonomic application; and to provide identification keys at the generic level for seeds and seedlings and at the specific level for fruits.
