TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of soil fertility in forest structure and dynamics in the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology and found that soil fertility may play an important role in explaining Basinwide variations in forest biomass, growth and stem turnover rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimisation of photosynthetic carbon gain and within-canopy gradients of associated foliar traits for Amazon forest trees
Jon Lloyd,Sandra Patiño,R. Q. Paiva,Gabriela Bielefeld Nardoto,Carlos A. Quesada,Carlos A. Quesada,A. J. B. Santos,A. J. B. Santos,Timothy R. Baker,Willi A. Brand,Ines Hilke,H. Gielmann,Michael Raessler,Flávio J. Luizão,Luiz Antonio Martinelli,Lina M. Mercado +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multilevel modeling approach was used to identify within-tree gradients within individual tree canopies as opposed to stand level gradients occurring because of systematic differences occurring between different trees of different heights.
Variations in leaf physiological properties within Amazon forest canopies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to identify the most important features of the Amazonian ecosystem and its relationships with the surrounding environment. But they did not consider the impact of environmental degradation on the environment.
