Biased-corrected richness estimates for the Amazonian tree flora.

Hans ter Steege, +239 more
- 23 Jun 2020 - 
TL;DR: By averaging several methods to estimate total richness, this work confirms that over 15,000 tree species are expected to occur in Amazonia and shows that the species abundance distribution of Amazonia is best approximated by a logseries with aggregated individuals, where aggregation increases with rarity.

Changes in Amazonian Forest Biomass, Dynamics, and Composition, 1980–2002

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the evidence for concerted changes in the structure, dynamics, and functional composition of old-growth Amazonian forests over recent decades and estimated a net biomass increase in trees > 10 cm diameter of 0.62 ± 0.23 t C ha -1 a -1 through the late twentieth century.

Species Matter: Wood Density Influences Tropical Forest Biomass at Multiple Scales.

TL;DR: Impacts of species on forest biomass due to wood density at all scales from the individual tree up to the whole biome are found and mean basal-area-weighted wood density values for different forests across the low and tropical biome are provided.
