Hyperdiverse forests occur in the lowland tropics, whereas the most species‐rich shrublands are found in regions such as south‐western Australia (kwongan) and South Africa (fynbos) …
For millennia, Amazonian peoples have managed forest resources, modifying the natural environment in subtle and persistent ways. Legacies of past human occupation are striking …
Plant nutrient‐acquisition strategies drive soil processes and vegetation performance, but their effect on the soil microbiome remains poorly understood. This knowledge is important …
The mechanisms regulating community composition and local dominance of trees in species- rich forests are poorly resolved, but the importance of interactions with soil microbes is …
We report above-ground biomass (AGB), basal area, stem density and wood mass density estimates from 260 sample plots (mean size: 1.2 ha) in intact closed-canopy tropical forests …
Abstract The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has attracted considerable attention for its rich land ecosystem productivity. However, recent excessive human …

Tropical forests are renowned for their high diversity, yet in many sites a single tree species accounts for the majority of the individuals in a stand. An explanation for these …
Ectomycorrhizas and arbuscular mycorrhizas, the two most widespread plant–fungal symbioses, are thought to differentially influence tree species diversity, with positive plant …
