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...
Biased-corrected richness estimates for the Amazonian tree flora
ter Steege, H.; Prado, Paulo I.; Lima, Renato A.Fde; Pos, Edwin T.; Coelho, Luiz Souza de; Lima Filho, Diógenes de Andrade; Salomão, Rafael PaivaAmazonian 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 extended database of forest plots with up-to-date taxonomy. We show that the species abundance distribution of Amazonia is best approximated by a logseries with aggregated individuals,...
Evolutionary heritage influences amazon tree ecology
Souza, Fernanda Coelho de; Dexter, Kyle Graham; Phillips, Oliver L.; Brienen, Roel J.W.; Chave, Jérôme; Galbraith, David R.; Lopez-Gonzalez, GabrielaLineages tend to retain ecological characteristics of their ancestors through time. However, for some traits, selection during evolutionary history may have also played a role in determining trait values. To address the relative importance of these processes requires large-scale quantification of traits and evolutionary relationships among species. The Amazonian tree flora comprises a high diversity of angiospe...
Basin-wide variations in Amazon forest structure and function are mediated by b...
Quesada, Carlos Alberto; Phillips, Oliver L.; Schwarz, Michael; Czimczik, Claudia I.; Baker, Timothy R.; Patiño, Sandra; Fyllas, Nikolaos M.Forest structure and dynamics vary across the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology. This has resulted in the hypothesis that soil fertility may play an important role in explaining Basin-wide variations in forest biomass, growth and stem turnover rates. Soil samples were collected in a total of 59 different forest plots across the Amazon Basin and analys...
Individual-based modeling of amazon forests suggests that climate controls prod...
Fauset, Sophie; Gloor, Manuel U.; Fyllas, Nikolaos M.; Phillips, Oliver L.; Asner, Gregory P.; Baker, Timothy R.; Patrick Bentley, LisaClimate, species composition, and soils are thought to control carbon cycling and forest structure in Amazonian forests. Here, we add a demographics scheme (tree recruitment, growth, and mortality) to a recently developed non-demographic model—the Trait-based Forest Simulator (TFS)—to explore the roles of climate and plant traits in controlling forest productivity and structure. We compared two sites with diffe...
Drought-mortality relationships for tropical forests
Phillips, Oliver L.; Van Der Heijden, Geertje M.F.; Lewis, Simon L.; Lopez-Gonzalez, Gabriela; Aragao, L. E.O.C.; Lloyd, Jon; Malhi, Yadvinder SinghThe rich ecology of tropical forests is intimately tied to their moisture status. Multi-site syntheses can provide a macro-scale view of these linkages and their susceptibility to changing climates. Here, we report pan-tropical and regional-scale analyses of tree vulnerability to drought. We assembled available data on tropical forest tree stem mortality before, during, and after recent drought events, from 119...
Seasonal drought limits tree species across the Neotropics
Esquivel-Muelbert, Adriane; Baker, Timothy R.; Dexter, Kyle Graham; Lewis, Simon L.; ter Steege, H.; Lopez-Gonzalez, Gabriela; Monteagudo-Mendoza, AbelWithin the tropics, the species richness of tree communities is strongly and positively associated with precipitation. Previous research has suggested that this macroecological pattern is driven by the negative effect of water-stress on the physiological processes of most tree species. This implies that the range limits of taxa are defined by their ability to occur under dry conditions, and thus in terms of spe...
Hyperdominance in Amazonian forest carbon cycling
Fauset, Sophie; Johnson, Michelle O.; Gloor, Manuel U.; Baker, Timothy R.; Monteagudo M, Abel; Brienen, Roel J.W.; Feldpausch, Ted R.While Amazonian forests are extraordinarily diverse, the abundance of trees is skewed strongly towards relatively few â € hyperdominantâ €™ species. In addition to their diversity, Amazonian trees are a key component of the global carbon cycle, assimilating and storing more carbon than any other ecosystem on Earth. Here we ask, using a unique data set of 530 forest plots, if the functions of storing and produci...
