An estimate of the number of tropical tree species

J. W. Ferry Slik, +176 more
TL;DR: It is shown that most tree species are extremely rare, meaning that they may be under serious risk of extinction at current deforestation rates, and a methodological framework for estimating species richness in trees is provided that may help refine species richness estimates of tree-dependent taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drastic erosion in functional attributes of tree assemblages in Atlantic forest fragments of northeastern Brazil

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test the hypothesis that tropical tree assemblages in both small forest fragments and along forest edges of very large fragments are functionally much more similar to stands of secondary growth (5-65-yr old) than to core primary forest patches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant β-diversity in fragmented rain forests: testing floristic homogenization and differentiation hypotheses

TL;DR: In this article, a large vegetation data set from a hierarchically nested sampling design (450 plots in 45 forest patches in 3 landscapes with different deforestation levels) at Los Tuxtlas rain forest, Mexico was analyzed using multiplicative diversity decompositions of Hill numbers.
