Acknowledgements: This paper is a product of the RAINFOR network and other networks and individuals contributing to long-term forest science and monitoring in South American forests, with their combined records collected over decades and curated at ForestPlots.net. As well as investigators and field leaders included here, we gratefully acknowledge the efforts of hundreds of additional botanists, technicians, field assistants and communities who have contributed to installing, measuring and identifying trees across South American forests. RAINFOR and ForestPlots.net have been supported by numerous people and grants since their inception. For their contributions to developing the RAINFOR network and its antecedents, we are also indebted to J. Lloyd, as well as P. Alvarez Loayza, W. Betian, A. Lima, J. Singh and M. Steininger, and our late colleagues E. Armas, T. Erwin, T. Lovejoy, A. Gentry, D. Neill, S. Patiño, A. Peña Cruz and J.-P. Veillon.
