Large trees drive forest aboveground biomass variation in moist lowland forests across the tropics

J. W. Ferry Slik, +64 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of large trees for tropical forest biomass storage and explore which intrinsic (species trait) and extrinsic (environment) variables are associated with the density of trees and forest biomass at continental and pan-tropical scales.
Journal ArticleDOI

An estimate of the number of tropical tree species

J. W. Ferry Slik, +176 more
TL;DR: It is shown that most tree species are extremely rare, meaning that they may be under serious risk of extinction at current deforestation rates, and a methodological framework for estimating species richness in trees is provided that may help refine species richness estimates of tree-dependent taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic classification of the world's tropical forests

J. W. Ferry Slik, +193 more
TL;DR: A global tropical forest classification that is explicitly based on community evolutionary similarity is provided, resulting in identification of five major tropical forest regions and their relationships: (i) Indo-Pacific, (ii) Subtropical, (iii) African, (iv) American, and (v) Dry forests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the floristic diversity of tropical Africa

TL;DR: RAINBIO – one of the largest mega-databases of tropical African vascular plant species distributions ever compiled – is used to address questions about plant and growth form diversity across tropical Africa, and is important for achieving Objective 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation 2011–2020.
