Adaptability of the fine root system of Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn. to various sites of central Amazônia, Brazil.
Summary: The objective of the following study of this commercially important species was to find out in how far dynamic adaptation of the growth and structure of the fine roots can contribute to that outstanding ecological amplitude. The structural study of the fine roots from trees from terra firme and várzea in different seasons in combination with a simulation of drought and inundation conditions in the greenhouse with young plants were expected to help explain the species extensive ecological amplitude.
