The extent to which pre-Columbian societies altered Amazonian landscapes is hotly debated. We performed a basin-wide analysis of impacts on forests by overlaying known archaeological sites in Amazonia with the distributions and abundances 85 woody species domesticated peoples. Domesticated are five times more likely than nondomesticated be hyperdominant. Across basin, relative abundance richness increase around sites. In southwestern eastern Amazonia, distance strongly influences species....
Abstract. The Amazon Basin plays key roles in the carbon and water cycles, climate change, atmospheric chemistry, biodiversity. It has already been changed significantly by human activities, more pervasive change is expected to occur coming decades. therefore essential establish long-term measurement sites that provide a baseline record of present-day climatic, biogeochemical, conditions will be operated over decades monitor region, as perturbations increase future.

Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare not often incorporated into land-use policy conservation planning. We overlay spatial distribution models with historical projected deforestation to show that at least 36% up 57% all tree likely qualify as globally threatened under International Union Conservation Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria. If confirmed, these results would increase the number on Earth by 22%. trends observed in Amazonia apply trees throughout...
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology and conservation. Presence-only SDMs such as MaxEnt frequently use natural history collections (NHCs) occurrence data, given their huge numbers accessibility. NHCs often spatially biased which may generate inaccuracies SDMs. Here, we test how the of predictions relates to a spatial abundance model, based on large plot dataset for Amazonian tree species, using inverse distance weighting (IDW). We also propose new pipeline...
Abstract Over the past three decades, many small‐scale floristic studies of white‐sand forests across Amazon basin have been published. Nonetheless, a basin‐wide description both taxonomic and phylogenetic alpha beta diversity at regional scales has never achieved. We present complete analysis including diversity. found strong differences in signal community structure with overall Net Relatedness Index Nearest Taxon values to be significantly positive leading pattern clustering....
Wetlands harbor an important compliment of regional plant diversity, but in many regions data on wetland diversity and composition is still lacking, thus hindering our understanding the processes that control it. While patterns broad-scale terrestrial typically correlate with contemporary climate it not clear to what extent wetlands are complimentary, or conflicting. To elucidate this, we consolidate from forest inventories Brazil examine along temperature rainfall gradients spanning five...

Abstract Aim We test the hypothesis that wind dispersal is more common among emergent tree species given being tall increases likelihood of effective seed dispersal. Location Americas, Africa and Asia‐Pacific. Time period 1970–2020. Major taxa studied Gymnosperms Angiosperms. Methods used a dataset consisting inventories from 2821 plots across three biogeographic regions (Americas, Asia‐Pacific), including dry wet forests, to determine maximum height strategy 5314 species. A web search was...
Flowering plant species and their nectar-feeding vertebrates exemplify some of the most remarkable biotic interactions in Neotropics. In Brazilian Atlantic Forest, several birds (especially hummingbirds), bats, non-flying mammals, as well one lizard feed on nectar, often act pollinators contribute to seed output flowering plants. We present a dataset containing information plants visited by sampled at 166 localities Forest. This provides 1902 unique among 515 129 potential vertebrate...
