TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of soil fertility in forest structure and dynamics in the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology and found that soil fertility may play an important role in explaining Basinwide variations in forest biomass, growth and stem turnover rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new hypothesis of self-maintaining forest dynamic feedback mechanisms initiated by edaphic conditions is proposed, which is further suggested that this is a major factor determining forest disturbance levels, species composition and forest productivity on a Basin wide scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, branch xylem density is measured for 1653 trees representing 598 species, sampled from 87 sites across the Amazon basin and found significant differences in average ρx across regions and sampled plots as well as significant differences between families, genera and species.

TL;DR: Analysis of variance showed significant differences in average D x across the sample plots as well as significant differences between families, genera and species, supported by the observation that the xylem density of the more widely distributed species varied systematically from plot to plot.
