Moonlight, Peter W.; Banda-R, Karina; Phillips, Oliver L.; Dexter, Kyle G.; Pennington, R. Toby; Baker, Tim R.; Lima, Haroldo C. de; Fajardo, LaurieUnderstanding of tropical forests has been revolutionized by monitoring in permanent plots. Data from global plot networks have transformed our knowledge of forests’ diversity, function, contribution to global biogeochemical cycles, and sensitivity to climate change. Monitoring has thus far been concentrated in rain forests. Despite increasing appreciation of their threatened status, biodiversity, and importanc...

Biased-corrected richness estimates for the Amazonian tree flora
ter Steege, Hans; Prado, Paulo I.; Lima, Renato A. F. de; Pos, Edwin; de Souza Coelho, Luiz; de Andrade Lima Filho, Diogenes; Salomão, Rafael P.Made available in DSpace on 2020-12-12T01:28:32Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-12-01; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); Amazonian forests are extraordinarily diverse, but the estimated species richness is very much debated. Here, we apply an ensemble of parametric estimators and a novel technique that includes conspecific spatial aggregation to an exten...
Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests
ter Steege, Hans; Henkel, Terry W.; Helal, Nora; Marimon, Beatriz S.; Marimon-Junior, Ben Hur; Huth, Andreas; Groeneveld, Jürgen; Sabatier, DanielMade available in DSpace on 2020-12-12T01:40:04Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-12-01; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such “monodominant” forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sam...
Variations in Amazon forest productivity correlated with foliar nutrients and m...
Mercado, Lina; Patiño, Sandra; null, Tomas; Fyllas, Nikolaos M.; Weedon, Graham P.; Sitch, Stephen A.; Quesada, Carlos Alberto; Phillips, Oliver L.The rate of above-ground woody biomass production, WP, in some western Amazon forests exceeds those in the east by a factor of 2 or more. Underlying causes may include climate, soil nutrient limitations and species composition. In this modelling paper, we explore the implications of allowing key nutrients such as N and P to constrain the photosynthesis of Amazon forests, and also we examine the relationship bet...
Modelling Amazonian forest eddy covariance data: a comparison of big leaf versu...
Mercado, Lina; Lloyd, Jon; Carswell, Fiona; Malhi, Yadvinder; Meir, Patrick; Nobre, Antônio DonatoNeste trabalho foi modelada a produtividade primária bruta através de duas técnicas simples para simular a fotossíntese no dossel: os modelos "folha-grande" e "sol/sombra". Para calibrar os modelos foram utilizados os parâmetros de fotossíntese da folha, estendidos à escala do dossel e um ajuste da bioquímica do dossel em relação à covariância de vórtices turbulentos. Os modelos foram validados com as medidas f...

Do species traits determine patterns of wood production in Amazonian forests?
Baker, Timothy R.; Phillips, Oliver L.; Laurance, William F.; Pitman, Nigel C.A.; Almeida, Samuel Miranda; Arroyo, Luzmila P.; Di Fiore, AnthonyUnderstanding the relationships between plant traits and ecosystem properties at large spatial scales is important for predicting how compositional change will affect carbon cycling in tropical forests. In this study, we examine the relationships between species wood density, maximum height and above-ground, coarse wood production of trees ≥10 cm diameter (CWP) for 60 Amazonian forest plots. Average species max...
