One sixth of Amazonian tree diversity is dependent on river floodplains. 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
Mapping density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora. 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... ...

Sensitivity of South American tropical forests to an extreme climate anomaly. 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
Geographic patterns of tree dispersal modes in Amazonia and their ecological correlates. 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... ...

Conservation measures to counter the main threats to Amazonian biodiversity. Present-day human activities are reducing and altering Amazonian biodiversity and disrupting the functioning of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems (Chapter 19 & 20). This chapter outlines some of the... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2021
Restoration options for the Amazon. This chapter examines site-specific opportunities and approaches for restoring terrestrial and aquatic systems, focusing on local actions and their immediate benefits. Landscape, catchment, and biome-... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2021
Restoration priorities and benefits within landscapes and catchments and across the Amazon Basin. Restoration can be applied in many different Amazonian contexts but will be most effective at leveraging environmental and social benefits when it is prioritized across the Amazon Basin and within lan... ...

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 conspeci... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2020
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 tro... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2019
