The functioning of ecosystems is based on the functional diversity, which is the complementto the species diversity. In the tropical rain forest, the saplings grow in the dense and stratifiedunderstorey. This thesis deals with the diversity of realisation of the support function by thesaplings in this context. The hypotheses are that the race through higher and so brighter levelsconstrains the mechanical security of the saplings with necessary biomass saving and need ofreorientation (gravitropism) and acclimation (mecanoperception and response) processes andthat diversity is thus structured by the species light-demand and affinity for the risk. Using awide sample of 16 species, at the Paracou station, relevant functional traits - risk of no...
