Reporting specific modelling methods and metadata is essential to the reproducibility of
ecological studies, yet guidelines rarely exist regarding what information should be noted …

The unparalleled biodiversity found in the American tropics (the Neotropics) has attracted
the attention of naturalists for centuries. Despite major advances in recent years in our …

Coincident with recent global warming, species have shifted their geographic distributions to
cooler environments, generally by moving along thermal axes to higher latitudes, higher …

Background The central thesis of plant ecology is that climate determines the global
distribution of vegetation. Within a vegetation type, however, finer‐scale environmental …

Tropical ecosystems adapted to high water availability may be highly impacted by climatic
changes that increase soil and atmospheric moisture deficits. Many tropical regions are …

Anthropogenetic climate change has caused range shifts among many species. Species
distribution models (SDMs) are used to predict how species ranges may change in the …

Tropical rainforests harbor exceptionally high biodiversity and store large amounts of carbon
in vegetation biomass. However, regional variation in plant species richness and vegetation …

Mangrove forests being the abode of diverse fauna and flora are vital for healthy coastal
ecosystems. These forests act as a carbon sequester and protection shield against floods …

The increase in the spread of invasive plant species (IPS) causes major disturbances to
ecosystem functions. Monitoring systems are considered necessary to implement effective …

Aim To map and interpret floristic and geoecological patterns across the Amazon basin by
