Long-term decline of the Amazon carbon sink
- R. J. Brienen, O. Phillips, +89 authors R. Zagt
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Nature
- 19 March 2015
Atmospheric carbon dioxide records indicate that the land surface has acted as a strong global carbon sink over recent decades, with a substantial fraction of this sink probably located in the… Expand
Persistent effects of pre-Columbian plant domestication on Amazonian forest composition
- C. Levis, F. Costa, +150 authors H. ter Steege
- Geography, Medicine
- Science
- 3 March 2017
Past human influences on Amazonian forest The marks of prehistoric human societies on tropical forests can still be detected today. Levis et al. performed a basin-wide comparison of plant… Expand
Amazon forest response to repeated droughts
- T. Feldpausch, O. Phillips, +52 authors V. Vos
- Geology
- 1 July 2016
The Amazon Basin has experienced more variable climate over the last decade, with a severe and widespread drought in 2005 causing large basin-wide losses of biomass. A drought of similar… Expand
Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree species
- H. ter Steege, N. C. A. Pitman, +155 authors L. Gamarra
- Geography, Medicine
- Science Advances
- 1 November 2015
Analyses of forest loss and protected areas suggest that 36 to 57% of Amazonian tree flora may qualify as “globally threatened.” Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species… Expand
Species Distribution Modelling: Contrasting presence-only models with plot abundance data
- V. F. Gomes, S. Ijff, +184 authors H. ter Steege
- Medicine, Environmental Science
- Scientific Reports
- 17 January 2018
Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology and conservation. Presence-only SDMs such as MaxEnt frequently use natural history collections (NHCs) as occurrence data, given their… Expand
Evolutionary heritage influences Amazon tree ecology
- Fernanda Coelho de Souza, K. Dexter, +73 authors T. Baker
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 14 December 2016
Lineages tend to retain ecological characteristics of their ancestors through time. However, for some traits, selection during evolutionary history may have also played a role in determining trait… Expand
Evolutionary diversity is associated with wood productivity in Amazonian forests
- Fernanda Coelho de Souza, K. Dexter, +72 authors T. Baker
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Ecology & Evolution
- 17 September 2019
Higher levels of taxonomic and evolutionary diversity are expected to maximize ecosystem function, yet their relative importance in driving variation in ecosystem function at large scales in diverse… Expand
Plot Data from: "Long-term decline of the Amazon carbon sink."
- R. J. Brienen, O. Phillips, +87 authors R. Zagt
- Environmental Science
- 2014
Atmospheric CO2 records indicate that the land surface has acted as a strong global carbon sink over recent decades, with a substantial fraction of this sink likely located in the tropics,… Expand
Scaling issues of neutral theory reveal violations of ecological equivalence for dominant Amazonian tree species
- E. Pos, J. E. Guevara, +26 authors H. ter Steege
- Medicine, Mathematics
- Ecology letters
- 2 April 2019
Abstract Neutral models are often used as null models, testing the relative importance of niche versus neutral processes in shaping diversity. Most versions, however, focus only on regional scale… Expand
A frog's eye view: logging roads buffer against further diversity loss
