Certification of açaí agroforestry increases the conservation potential of the Amazonian tree flora
The harvesting of açaí berries (palm fruits from the genus Euterpe ) in Amazonia has increased over the last 20 years due to a high local and global market demand and triggered by their widely acclaimed health benefits as a ‘superfood’
Environmental filters and biotic interactions drive species richness and composition in ecotone forests of the northern Brazilian Amazonia
The aim of this study was to determine the response of species richness and composition to environmental filters, and analyze the role of P. gracilipes in structuring tree communities in ecotone forest areas of the Northern Brazilian Amazonia.
Using near-infrared spectroscopy to discriminate closely related species: A case study of neotropical ferns
Here we tested the accuracy of FT-NIR at discriminating species of the genus Microgramma.
Amazon tree dominance across forest strata
Here, we use a large floristic dataset to show that, while hyperdominance is a universal phenomenon across forest strata, different species dominate the forest understory, midstory and canopy.
