Hyperdominance in the Amazonian Tree Flora

Hans ter Steege, +125 more
- 18 Oct 2013 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Classification of Major Naturally-Occurring Amazonian Lowland Wetlands

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistent effects of pre-Columbian plant domestication on Amazonian forest composition

Carolina Levis, +151 more
- 03 Mar 2017 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tree species composition and diversity gradients in white‐water forests across the Amazon Basin

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.
