Johannes H. C. Cornelissen,Sandra Lavorel,Eric Garnier,Sandra Díaz,Nina Buchmann,Diego E. Gurvich,Peter B. Reich,H. ter Steege,H. D. Morgan,M. van der Heijden,Juli G. Pausas,Hendrik Poorter +11 more
TL;DR: This paper provides an international methodological protocol aimed at standardising this research effort, based on consensus among a broad group of scientists in this field, and features a practical handbook with step-by-step recipes, for 28 functional traits recognised as critical for tackling large-scale ecological questions.

TL;DR: This new handbook has a better balance between whole-plant traits, leaf traits, root and stem traits and regenerative traits, and puts particular emphasis on traits important for predicting species’ effects on key ecosystem properties.

TL;DR: It is shown that Andean uplift was crucial for the evolution of Amazonian landscapes and ecosystems, and that current biodiversity patterns are rooted deep in the pre-Quaternary.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that Amazon forests have acted as a long-term net biomass sink, but the observed decline of the Amazon sink diverges markedly from the recent increase in terrestrial carbon uptake at the global scale, and is contrary to expectations based on models

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of tree height (H) on tropical forest biomass and carbon storage estimates was investigated using data from 20 sites across four continents, and the results showed that tree H is an important allometric factor that needs to be included in future forest biomass estimates to reduce error in estimates of tropical carbon stocks and emissions.
