TL;DR: It is demonstrated that water stress operating at the scale of individual plants, combined with spatial variation in soil texture, explains observed patterns of variation in ecosystem biomass, composition, and dynamics across the region, and strongly influences the ecosystem’s resilience to changes in dry season length.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of global climate change on tropical forest biodiversity in Amazonia
TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of expected global climate change on the potential and realized distributions of a representative sample of 69 individual Angiosperm species in Amazonia were simulated from 1990 to 2095.
ECOINFORMATICS: REPORT ForestPlots.net: a web application and research tool to manage and analyse tropical forest plot data
TL;DR: ForestPlots.net as mentioned in this paper is a secure, online inventory data repository and facilitates data management of long-term tropical forest plots to promote scientific collaborations among independent researchers, where individual trees are tracked over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that the distributions of tree taxa are indeed nested along precipitation gradients in the western Neotropics, and the results suggest that the ‘dry tolerance’ hypothesis has broad applicability in the world's most species-rich forests.

TL;DR: By improving the understanding of poorly understood processes such as CUE, NPP allocation and biomass turnover times, this work can provide more complete and mechanistic approaches to linking climate and tropical forest carbon cycling.
