Journal ArticleDOI
Forest biomass density across large climate gradients in northern South America is related to water availability but not with temperature

TL;DR: This work estimated the patterns of above ground biomass (AGB) stocks across major tropical forests across climatic gradients in Northwestern South America and found that AGB is more closely related to water availability variables than to energy variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infestation of trees by lianas in a tropical forest in Amazonian Peru
TL;DR: The association between crown infestation and tree traits suggests that increases in liana dominance in Amazonian forests could cause changes in forest composition, including favouring faster growing tree species with low density wood, potentially reducing the carbon stored by mature forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global species–energy relationship in forest plots: role of abundance, temperature and species climatic tolerances
Irena Šímová,David Storch,David Storch,Petr Keil,Brad Boyle,Oliver L. Phillips,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. Enquist +8 more
TL;DR: Across the world’s forests there is no evidence to support the MIH, and a very limited evidence for a prominent role of productivity as a driver of species richness patterns, while the role of temperature is much more important, although this effect is more complex than originally assumed by the MTB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in leaf thermoregulation and water use strategies between three co-occurring Atlantic forest tree species
Sophie Fauset,Helber C. Freitas,David W. Galbraith,Martin J. P. Sullivan,Marcos P. M. Aidar,Carlos Alfredo Joly,Oliver L. Phillips,Simone Aparecida Vieira,Manuel Gloor +8 more
TL;DR: Large leaf‐to‐air temperature differences that were influenced strongly by radiation and differences in leaf temperature between 2 species due to variation in leaf width and stomatal conductance are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is suggested that high s.PDss and ses.MNTD in western Amazonia results from its favourable, easy-to-colonize environment, whereas high values in the Brazilian and Guianan Shields may be due to accumulation of lineages over a longer period of time, which may reflect greater lineage diversity in communities.
