Journal ArticleDOI

Drought sensitivity of the Amazon rainforest.

TL;DR: Records from multiple long-term monitoring plots across Amazonia are used to assess forest responses to the intense 2005 drought, a possible analog of future events that may accelerate climate change through carbon losses and changed surface energy balances.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas

William F. Laurance, +216 more
- 13 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term decline of the Amazon carbon sink

Roel J. W. Brienen, +101 more
- 19 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is confirmed that Amazon forests have acted as a long-term net biomass sink, but the observed decline of the Amazon sink diverges markedly from the recent increase in terrestrial carbon uptake at the global scale, and is contrary to expectations based on models
