“…There is less information on the significance of Al hyperaccumulation (Jansen et al, 2002), although it has been suggested as a mechanism to deter herbivory. This idea has not been well tested, however, and was not supported in a field study in the Philippines including six Al hyperaccumulator and one Ni hyperaccumulators (Proctor et al, 2000). In the Al hyperaccumulator, Melastoma malabathricum, an increase in oxalate concentration in the rhizosphere enabled solubilization of aluminium phosphate, and an increase in plant P was associated with an increase in plant Al (Watanabe & Osaki, 2002).…”

SummaryThe causes of the species richness of tropical trees are poorly understood, in particular the roles of ecological factors such as soil composition. The nickel(Ni)-hyperaccumulating tree genus Geissois (Cunoniaceae) from the South-west Pacific was chosen as a model of diversification on different substrates.Here, we investigated the leaf element compositions, spatial distributions and phylogeny of all species of Geissois occurring on New Caledonia.We found that New Caledonian Geissois descended from a single colonist and diversified relatively quickly into 13 species. Species on ultramafic and nonultramafic substrates showed contrasting patterns of leaf element composition and range overlap. Those on nonultramafic substrates were largely sympatric but had distinct leaf element compositions. By contrast, species on ultramafic substrates showed similar leaf element composition, but occurred in many cases exclusively in allopatry. Further, earlier work showed that at least three out of these seven species use different molecules to bind Ni.Geissois qualifies as a cryptic adaptive radiation, and may be the first such example in a lineage of tropical forest trees. Variation in biochemical strategies for coping with both typical and adverse soil conditions may help to explain the diversification and coexistence of tropical forest trees on similar soil types.

“…Similarly, Sobrado & Medina (1980) found for ten species in a 'bana' forest on white sands in Venezuela a mean lamina thickness of 457mm (range 229-761mm) and 60% of the leaves with a hypodermis. Leaf anatomy of the Bloomfield scrub and Gymnostoma-woodland at 180m asl and above, and foliar chemistry for all the Bloomfield vegetation types are discussed in Proctor et al (1997Proctor et al ( , 2000.…”

The forest across a sharp boundary between greywacke and serpentinized peridotite is described from a site with seasonal rainfall on Palawan, Philippines. The forest on greywacke was of much larger stature (trees up to 26m) than that on the serpentinized peridotite (trees up to 18m). The tree (>10cm dbh) species richness was the same on both substrata with 38 species in one 0.16ha plot on each side of the boundary. There were many more individuals in the greywacke plot (149) than on the serpentinized peridotite (114). Floristically the plots were very different, with only one tree species, an unidentified Madhuca, occurring on both sides of the boundary. The soil over the greywacke was notably more acid, had lower Mg/Ca quotients, and much lower nickel concentrations than the soil over serpentinized peridotite.
