Journal ArticleDOI

Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change

Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert, +111 more
TL;DR: A slow shift to a more dry‐affiliated Amazonia is underway, with changes in compositional dynamics consistent with climate‐change drivers, but yet to significantly impact whole‐community composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperdominance in Amazonian forest carbon cycling

Sophie Fauset, +97 more
TL;DR: It is found that dominance of forest function is even more concentrated in a few species than is dominance of tree abundance, with only ≈1% of Amazon tree species responsible for 50% of carbon storage and productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity and carbon storage across the tropical forest biome

Martin J. P. Sullivan, +124 more
- 17 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a pan-tropical dataset of 360 plots located in structurally intact old-growth closed-canopy forest, surveyed using standardised methods, allowing a multi-scale evaluation of diversity-carbon relationships in tropical forests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term thermal sensitivity of Earth’s tropical forests

Martin J. P. Sullivan, +250 more
- 22 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: This synthesis of plot networks across climatic and biogeographic gradients shows that forest thermal sensitivity is dominated by high daytime temperatures, and biome-wide variation in tropical forest carbon stocks and dynamics shows long-term resilience to increasing high temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taking the pulse of Earth's tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots

Cecilia Blundo, +552 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how a global community is responding to the challenges of tropical ecosystem research with diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots.
