Journal ArticleDOI
Soil nutrients influence spatial distributions of tropical tree species
Robert John,James W. Dalling,James W. Dalling,Kyle E. Harms,Kyle E. Harms,Joseph B. Yavitt,Robert F. Stallard,Matthew Mirabello,Stephen P. Hubbell,Stephen P. Hubbell,Renato Valencia,Hugo Navarrete,Martha Isabel Vallejo,Robin B. Foster,Robin B. Foster +14 more
TL;DR: It is found that belowground resource availability plays an important role in the assembly of tropical tree communities at local scales and provide the basis for future investigations on the mechanisms of resource competition among tropical tree species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil resources and topography shape local tree community structure in tropical forests
Claire A. Baldeck,Kyle E. Harms,Kyle E. Harms,Joseph B. Yavitt,Robert John,Benjamin L. Turner,Renato Valencia,Hugo Navarrete,Stuart J. Davies,Stuart J. Davies,George B. Chuyong,David Kenfack,Duncan W. Thomas,Sumedha Madawala,Nimal Gunatilleke,Savitri Gunatilleke,Sarayudh Bunyavejchewin,Somboon Kiratiprayoon,Adzmi Yaacob,Mohd. N. Nur Supardi,James W. Dalling,James W. Dalling +21 more
TL;DR: For the majority of sites, adding soil resource variables to topography nearly doubled the inferred role of habitat filtering, accounting for variation in compositional structure that would previously have been attributable to dispersal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat filtering across tree life stages in tropical forest communities.
Claire A. Baldeck,Kyle E. Harms,Kyle E. Harms,Joseph B. Yavitt,Robert John,Benjamin L. Turner,Renato Valencia,Hugo Navarrete,Sarayudh Bunyavejchewin,Somboon Kiratiprayoon,Adzmi Yaacob,Mohd. N. Nur Supardi,Stuart J. Davies,Stuart J. Davies,Stephen P. Hubbell,Stephen P. Hubbell,George B. Chuyong,David Kenfack,Duncan W. Thomas,James W. Dalling,James W. Dalling +20 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the structure of these tropical tree communities is established by the time trees are large enough to be included in the census, which indicates that habitat filtering occurs during earlier life stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of anti-protozoal activity of plants traditionally used in Ecuador in the treatment of leishmaniasis.
María Salomé Gachet,Javier Salazar Lecaro,Marcel Kaiser,Reto Brun,Hugo Navarrete,Ricardo Muñoz,Rudolf Bauer,Wolfgang Schühly +7 more
TL;DR: The combined approach based on interviews with healers as well as a literature search was carried out to assess the in vitro anti-protozoal potential of plants traditionally used in Ecuador in the treatment of leishmaniasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissecting biomass dynamics in a large Amazonian forest plot
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined AGBflux in dilTerenthabitats and across diameter classes and found that the change in AGE stock was due entirely to this upward shift in size leading to more canopy trees and fewer saplings after just 6 y.
