Structure and floristic composition of flood plain forests in the Peruvian Amazon: I. Overstorey

Gustav Nebel, +5 more
- 01 Sep 2001 - 
TL;DR: Three Peruvian flood plain forests adjacent to the Ucayali river were sampled using nine 1 ha permanent sample plots in which stems exceeding 10 cm DBH were identified and measured as discussed by the authors.

Structure and flor istic composition of flo od plain forests in the Peruvian Amazon: I. Overstorey

Gustav Nebel, +5 more
TL;DR: Three Peruvian flood plain forests adjacent to the Ucayali river were sampled using nine 1 ha permanent sample plots in which stems exceeding 10 cm DBH were identified and measured, indicating a relatively low similarity between the forest types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amazon palm biomass and allometry

Rosa C. Goodman, +6 more
- 15 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: It was found that stem height was the best predictor variable for arborescent palm biomass, but the relationship between stem height and biomass differed among species, and most species showed weak biomass–diameter relationships, but a significant relationship could be identified across all species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taking the pulse of Earth's tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots

Cecilia Blundo, +552 more
- 25 May 2021 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secondary forest dynamics in the Amazon floodplain in Peru

Wil de Jong, +7 more
- 01 Sep 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the dynamics of secondary forest and its interactions with land use for agriculture and utilization of primary forest in the floodplains of the Ucayali and Amazon rivers in Peru.
