TL;DR: By averaging several methods to estimate total richness, this work confirms that over 15,000 tree species are expected to occur in Amazonia and shows that the species abundance distribution of Amazonia is best approximated by a logseries with aggregated individuals, where aggregation increases with rarity.

TL;DR: Mining of the ATDN dataset suggests that monodominance is quite rare in Amazonia, and may be linked primarily to edaphic factors.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigate how local hydrological conditions influence tree alpha diversity, the community-weighted wood density mean (CWM-wd), and tree species composition in Amazonian forests.
