Photochemistry and hydric responses of congeneric Croton species at restoration sites under dry season: implications for species selection

The success of the ecological restoration depends on the appropriate determination of species for implantation in restoration areas. The use of physiological performance as a criterion may help in the selection of species that are less susceptible to abiotic stress, and consequently experience a lower mortality rate. Species of the same genus can even exhibit differences in physiological responses to water deficiency. Thus, we hypothesize that...
