The intensity and frequency of severe droughts in the Amazon region have increased in the
recent decades. These extreme events are associated with changes in forest dynamics …

Abstract The Amazon region in Brazil contains c. 5% of the palm species of the world.
However, palm cover at macroecological scales has not yet been quantified in this biome …

We present allometric models for estimating total carbon content and above ground carbon
(AGC) for the Arecaceae family, and for seven abundant neotropical palm species: the …

Tropical forests play a major role in the global carbon cycle but their diversity and structural
complexity challenge our ability to accurately estimate carbon stocks and dynamics. Palms …

Key message Specific leaf area (SLA, cm2g− 1) is a fundamental leaf economics spectrum
trait, which predicted the total carbon sequestered at the individual level in understory palms …

Functional traits are morphological and physiological characteristics that determine growth,
reproduction, and survival strategies. The leaf economics spectrum proposes two opposing …

Aboveground biomass estimates in the Amazon region remain uncertain, partly due to
extrapolations based mainly on samples collected in upland terrains of terra‐firme forests …

As estimativas de biomassa acima do solo na região amazônica permanecem incertas, em
parte devido a extrapolações baseadas principalmente em amostras coletadas em terrenos …

Los humedales amazónicos dominados por la palma Mauritia flexuosa cubren cerca de tres
millones de hectáreas en la cuenca amazónica, son de alto valor biocultural y ofrecen …
