What is unique about these trees?- Flood tolerant trees: many areas of lowland rainforest remain flooded for several months and the water sometimes can cover all the trees.- Stem succulent trees (baobab and other similar stem succulent trees).- Palms.- Mangroves.- Lianas.- Arborescent tree forms near treeline.- Process oriented chapters Hydraulic architecture and water transport Nutrient relations Carbon assimilation, photoinhibition, shade tolerance Tree ring chronologies, global climate change Different spatial and temporal scales
