Amazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and ho... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2024 |
Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated driver... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2023 |
The tropical forest carbon sink is known to be drought sensitive, but it is unclear which forests are the most vulnerable to extreme events. Forests with hotter and drier baseline conditions may be pr... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2023 |
In a time of rapid global change, the question of what determines patterns in species abundance distribution remains a priority for understanding the complex dynamics of ecosystems. The constrained ma... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2023 |
Aim: To investigate the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoochory, synzoochory, anemochory and hydr... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2023 |
Tree diversity and composition in Amazonia are known to be strongly determined by the water supplied by precipitation. Nevertheless, within the same climatic regime, water availability is modulated by... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2022 |
Authorship: CASTILHO, C. V. de; FERREIRA, J. N. Aim: Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosys-tems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evo-lutionarily, morphologically and physiol... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2020 |
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 conspeci... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2020 |
Authorship: CASTILHO, C. V.; MEDEIROS, M. B. de; SIMON, M. F.; FERREIRA, J.; GUEDES, M. C.; RUSCHEL, A. R. 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 tro... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2019 |
Authorship: AZEVEDO, C. P. de; OLIVEIRA, M. V. N. d'; GUEDES, M. C.; KANASHIRO, M.; FREITAS, L. J. M. de; OLIVEIRA, L. C. de; RUSCHEL, A. R.; SOUZA, C. R. de Forest biomass is an essential indicator for monitoring the Earth?s ecosystems and climate. It is a critical input to greenhouse gas accounting, estimation of carbon losses and forest degradation, ass... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2019 |
