The effects of proximity to an exposed forest edge on plants in Amazonian lowland rainforest were assessed by examining carbon isotopic composition (∂ 13 C) of canopy leaves and of understorey leaves and air. Exposed canopy leaves of Licania heteromorpha and Scleronema micranthum, were collected in continuous forest, within 100 m of a 5-year-old edge, and in isolated 1-ha forest fragments. Leaves of the understorey species, Duguetia aff. flagellaris and Astrocaryum sociale, were sampled at intervals along transects from a 5-year-old edge towards the forest interior and in control areas. Leaves of D. flagellaris were also collected from young gaps, gap edges, old gaps, undisturbed understorey and from secondary vegetation (...)
