TL;DR: Although demographic differences may foster coexistence, they do not explain any of the 16-fold variation in tree species richness observed across the tropics.

TL;DR: The results do not support the hypothesis that fast-growing species are consistently increasing in dominance in tropical tree communities, and suggest that plots may be simultaneously recovering from past disturbances and affected by changes in resource availability.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work uses demographic equilibrium theory to derive analytic predictions for tree size distributions corresponding to different growth and mortality functions and tests these predictions using data from 14 large-scale tropical forest plots encompassing censuses of 473 ha and > 2 million trees.

Journal ArticleDOI
Planetary boundaries: Rethinking biodiversity
TL;DR: A boundary that expresses the probability of families of species disappearing over time would better reflect our potential impacts on the future of life on Earth is proposed in this article, where the probability is expressed as a probability of a family of species vanishing over time.
