TL;DR: A slow shift to a more dry‐affiliated Amazonia is underway, with changes in compositional dynamics consistent with climate‐change drivers, but yet to significantly impact whole‐community composition.

TL;DR: This synthesis of plot networks across climatic and biogeographic gradients shows that forest thermal sensitivity is dominated by high daytime temperatures, and biome-wide variation in tropical forest carbon stocks and dynamics shows long-term resilience to increasing high temperatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pan-tropical model was proposed to predict plot-level forest structure properties and biomass from only the largest trees, which can be used to generate accurate field estimates of tropical forest carbon stocks to support the calibration and validation of current and forthcoming space missions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how a global community is responding to the challenges of tropical ecosystem research with diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots.

TL;DR: A pan-Amazonian assessment of how and why trees die is presented, analysing over 120,000 trees representing > 3800 species from 189 long-term RAINFOR forest plots, providing large-scale evidence for the overarching importance of the growth–survival trade-off in driving tropical tree mortality.
