Inventário florístico de floresta ombrófila densa de terra firme, na região do ...

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo principal caracterizar a vegetação da área de exploração de petróleo da PETROBRAS, no rio Urucu, bem como dar subsídios para a utilização da floresta de forma organizada e produtiva, baseada em conhecimentos científicos, de modo não somente a produzir resultados econômicos mas principalmente conservar o ambiente. Os três hectares de floresta inventariada sustentam 2.241 ind...

Biased-corrected richness estimates for the Amazonian tree flora

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 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,...

Aspectos florísticos de 13 hectares da área de Cachoeira Porteira-PA

Este trabalho descreve a composição florística na área do reservatório da futura Hidrelétrica de Cachoeira Porteira - PA (localizada na margem esquerda do rio Trombetas), e a caracterização da vegetação. São apresentados dados sobre a abundância, dominância, freqüência e os Índices de Valor de Importância das espécies (IVIE) e o Índice de Valor de Importância das Famílias (IVIF) e a análise da estrutura horizon...

Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree sp...

Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overlay spatial distribution models with historical and projected deforestation to show that at least 36% and up to 57% of all Amazonian tree species are likely to qualify as globally threatened under International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red ...

Species Distribution Modelling: Contrasting presence-only models with plot abun...

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology and conservation. Presence-only SDMs such as MaxEnt frequently use natural history collections (NHCs) as occurrence data, given their huge numbers and accessibility. NHCs are often spatially biased which may generate inaccuracies in SDMs. Here, we test how the distribution of NHCs and MaxEnt predictions relates to a spatial abundance model, based on ...

Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests

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 sampled the occurrence of monodominance in a massive, basin-wide database of forest-inventory plots from the Amazon Tree Diversity Network (ATDN). Utilizing a simple defining metric ...
