Other claims from this paper (3)
- Association Dyckia minarum showed more expressive acidity (CAM) than the other species studied.
- Association Tillandsia usneoides modifies its water-storing capacity between seasons, possibly associated with high methyl-esterified HGs in its cell walls.
- Mechanism Higher succulence and relative water content in the rainy season may stimulate photosynthetic activity in Bromeliaceae.
