TL;DR: The finding that Amazonia is dominated by just 227 tree species implies that most biogeochemical cycling in the world’s largest tropical forest is performed by a tiny sliver of its diversity.

A Classification of Major Naturally-Occurring Amazonian Lowland Wetlands
Wolfgang J. Junk,Maria Teresa Fernandez Piedade,Jochen Schöngart,Mario Cohn-Haft,J. Marion Adeney,Florian Wittmann +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a classification system for large Amazonian wetland types based on climatic, hydrological, hydrochemical, and botanical parameters is proposed, which divides natural wetlands into one group with rather stable water levels and another with oscillating water levels.

TL;DR: Analysis of plant distributions, archaeological sites, and environmental data indicates that modern tree communities in Amazonia are structured to an important extent by a long history of plant domestication by Amazonian peoples.

Brazilian wetlands: their definition, delineation, and classification for research, sustainable management, and protection
Wolfgang J. Junk,Maria Teresa Fernandez Piedade,Reinaldo Lourival,Florian Wittmann,Patricia Kandus,Luiz Drude de Lacerda,Reinaldo Luiz Bozelli,Francisco de Assis Esteves,C. Nunes da Cunha,Leonardo Maltchik,Jochen Schöngart,Yara Schaeffer-Novelli,Angelo Antonio Agostinho +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a synthesis of the current body of knowledge on the distribution, hydrology, and vegetation cover of Brazilian wetlands is provided in order to establish a scientific basis for discussions on a national wetland policy that mandates the sustainable management of Brazil's extremely diverse and complex wetlands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree species composition and diversity gradients in white‐water forests across the Amazon Basin
Florian Wittmann,Jochen Schöngart,Juan Carlos Montero,Thomas Motzer,Wolfgang J. Junk,Maria Teresa Fernandez Piedade,Helder Lima de Queiroz,Martin Worbes +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated tree species composition, richness and diversity in the Amazonian white-water (varzea) forest, looking particularly at: (1) the flood-level gradient, (2) the successional stage (stand age), and (3) the geographical location of the forests.
