TL;DR: Assessment of regeneration traits of tree communities of the Amazon-Cerrado transition aims to understand how they differ among and within the markedly different vegetation types, and to increase the understanding about the dynamics of tree Communities in neotropical forests and savannas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the disclosure of an enterprise's financial condition and the concomitant determination of its capital adequacy must be a function of accounting rather than financial modeling, and they further argue that if accounting is to fulfill this core function, the current practice of basing accounting on fair values must be adapted such that accounting is based on the risk exposures inherent in approved transactions.

TL;DR: In this article , the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoo-chory, synzoo chory, anemochory, and hydrochory) were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article , a series of calibration scenarios that take into account (i) the spatial disparity between the in situ plot size and the MODIS VCF pixel and (ii) the trees' spatial distribution within in situ plots are presented.
