TL;DR: The finding that Amazonia is dominated by just 227 tree species implies that most biogeochemical cycling in the world’s largest tropical forest is performed by a tiny sliver of its diversity.

TL;DR: A gap analysis suggests that existing Amazonian protected areas and indigenous territories will protect viable populations of most threatened species if these areas suffer no further degradation, highlighting the key roles that protected areas, indigenous peoples, and improved governance can play in preventing large-scale extinctions in the tropics in this century.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a large floristic dataset to show that, while hyperdominance is a universal phenomenon across forest strata, different species dominate the forest understory, mid-story and canopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the composicion vegetal and the diversidad in potreros and bosques (Granada, Cundinamarca, Colombia) were evaluated to evaluate whether the procesos sucesionales demuestran direccionalidad.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated and compared diurnal and nocturnal seed dispersal in a primary and secondary sub-Andean forest in Southern Colombia and found no significant differences between the two types of seed dispersions in number of seeds or biomass.
