Gaps in tropical science from unrepresentative distribution of sampling and citation across natural terrestrial environments

Daniel B. Metcalfe, Emily M. Anders, Hanna Axén, Erik Petter Axelsson et autres

Effective environmental policies for the tropics depend on accurate, representative scientific data. However, there is strong evidence from particular disciplines and regions that existing research is patchily distributed. Here, we show that poor representation of sampling and citation in some biomes and …

Plant functional traits shape the provision of ecosystem services to Indigenous communities in western Amazonia

Julia G. de Aledo, Hans ter Steege, Luis Cayuela, Laura Matas‐Granados et autres

Abstract Context . Exploring how Indigenous People interact with plants through their functional traits allows us to understand the ecological bases of plant selection. Functional traits can help explain why certain plants are consistently chosen for specific purposes across diverse cultural contexts. …

Microbial death in the Andes: necromass declines despite growth and carbon-use-efficiency increases with decadal soil warming

Andrew T. Nottingham, Kristiina L. Karhu, Norma Salinas, Jörg Schnecker et autres

ABSTRACT The growth and death of soil microbes are important drivers of soil carbon formation. A warming climate is predicted to affect both the production of microbial biomass and the stability of microbial residues (necromass) held in soils. However, we have very …

Amazonian and Andean tree communities are not tracking current climate warming

William Farfán-Ríos, Kenneth J. Feeley, Jonathan A. Myers, J. Sebastián Tello et autres

Climate change is shifting species distributions, leading to changes in community composition and novel species assemblages worldwide. However, the responses of tropical forests to climate change across large-scale environmental gradients remain largely unexplored. Using long-term data over 66,000 trees of more than …

Forest Age Rivals Climate to Explain Reproductive Allocation Patterns in Forest Ecosystems Globally

Rachel Ward, Stephen Adu‐Bredu, Luzmilla Arroyo, Andrew A. Bailey et autres

Forest allocation of net primary productivity (NPP) to reproduction (carbon required for flowers, fruits, and seeds) is poorly quantified globally, despite its critical role in forest regeneration and a well-supported trade-off with allocation to growth. Here, we present the first global synthesis …

Wood density variation across an Andes‐to‐Amazon elevational gradient

William Farfán-Ríos, Sassan S Saatchi, Imma Oliveras Menor, Yadvinder Singh Malhi et autres

Abstract Understanding how functional traits are related to species diversity and ecosystem properties is a central goal of ecology. Wood density is a trait that integrates many aspects of plant form and function and is highly variable among species. Previous studies of …

Analysing the time scales of variability in carbon dioxide and energy balance components of a tropical Amazon rainforest in central Peru

Lea Heidemann, Eric G. Cosio, Rudi S. Cruz, Juliane Diller et autres

The Amazon Rainforest plays a vital role in the global carbon and water cycle, yet responses of old growth tropical rainforests to climate change and rising CO2 concentrations remain poorly understood. Especially the western part of the Amazon is underrepresented in ecohydrological …

Variation in wood density across South American tropical forests

Martin J. P. Sullivan, Oliver Lawrence Phillips, David Roberto Galbraith, Everton Cristo de Almeida et autres

Wood density is a critical control on tree biomass, so poor understanding of its spatial variation can lead to large and systematic errors in forest biomass estimates and carbon maps. The need to understand how and why wood density varies is especially …

Tropical forests in the Americas are changing too slowly to track climate change

Jesús Aguirre‐Gutiérrez, Sandra M. Díaz, Sami Walid Rifai, José Javier Corral‐Rivas et autres

Understanding the capacity of forests to adapt to climate change is of pivotal importance for conservation science, yet this is still widely unknown. This knowledge gap is particularly acute in high-biodiversity tropical forests. Here, we examined how tropical forests of the Americas …
