The aim of this work was to characterize the seasonal variations in leaf and trunk gas exchange of tropical rainforest canopy trees exposed to dry seasons. This study focused on (i) describing the functional variability of leaf and wood characteristics of canopy trees, (ii) defining soil water deficit in dry season, (iii) measuring gas exchange (CO2 and H2O) at the leaf and trunk level during dry seasons in a Terra firme forest and in a seasonally flooded forest in order to specify their sensitivity and response to drought. We showed large differences in morphological and functional traits among canopy trees and strong correlations among traits, and pointed that trade-offs at the leaf or the trunk levels are independent. Our results showed ...
