Comparison of the performance of three different ecophysiological life forms in a sandy coastal restinga ecosystem of SE-Brazil: a nodulated N₂-fixing C₃-shrub (Andira legalis (Vell.) Toledo), a CAM-shrub (Clusia hilariana Schltdl.) and a tap root C₃-hemicryptophyte (Allagoptera arenaria (Gomes) O. Ktze.) - Gessler, Arthur; Nitschke, Renate; de Mattos, Eduardo A; Zaluar, Henrique L. T; Scarano, Fabio R; Rennenberg, Heinz; Lüttge, Ulrich (Trees (Berlin, West), 2008)
