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...
Amazon tree dominance across forest strata
Draper, Frederick C.; Costa, Flavia R. C.; Arellano, Gabriel; Phillips, Oliver L.; Duque, Alvaro; Macía, Manuel J.; ter Steege, Hans; Asner, Gregory P.Made available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T10:27:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); The forests of Amazonia are among the most biodiverse plant communities on Earth. Given the immediate threats posed by climate and land-use change, an improved understanding of how this extraordinary biodiversity is spatially organized...
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...
Inserting tropical dry forests into the discussion on biome transitions in the ...
Dexter, Kyle G.; Pennington, R. Toby; Oliveira- Filho, Ary T.; Bueno, Marcelo L.; Miranda, Pedro L. Silva de; Neves, Danilo M.Tropical moist forests and savannas are iconic biomes. There is, however, a third principal biome in the lowland tropics that is less well known: tropical dry forest. Discussions on responses of vegetation in the tropics to climate and land-use change often focus on shifts between forests and savannas, but ignore dry forests. Tropical dry forests are distinct from moist forests in their seasonal drought stress ...
