A global map of wood density Open
Wood density influences how quickly woody plants grow, how long they live and how much carbon they store, yet its global variation remains poorly mapped. Here we combined 109,626 wood density measurements from 16,829 species with 300,949 v…

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation Open
Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific…

Assessing the extinction risk of tree species in the subtropical Atlantic Forest using multiple IUCN criteria Open
The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened tropical forests in the world. Many species have declined and become isolated because of pervasive forest loss and degradation. Here we assess the current population status of Atlantic Fore…

Reassembly dynamics of tropical secondary succession: Evidence from Atlantic forests Open
One of the most fundamental predictions for secondary succession involves the gradual replacement of stress‐resistant species by others that are better competitors under late succession conditions. However, it remains unclear how widesprea…

Use and misuse of trait imputation in ecology: the problem of using out‐of‐context imputed values Open
Despite the progress in the measurement and accessibility of plant trait information, acquiring sufficiently complete data from enough species to answer broad‐scale questions in plant functional ecology and biogeography remains challenging…

Uso de wearables para monitoramento contínuo de pacientes com doenças cardíacas Open
Introdução: As doenças cardiovasculares (DCVs) são a principal causa de mortalidade global, associadas a fatores de risco modificáveis e ao envelhecimento populacional. O monitoramento contínuo dessas condições é essencial para prevenir co…

High-diversity Atlantic Forest restoration plantings fail to represent local floras Open
One goal of ecological restoration is species conservation, so selecting tree species from local floras in restoration plantings is important to restore native species populations and avoid biotic homogenization. We evaluated if species pl…

[Dataset:] How do size distributions relate to concurrently measured demographic rates? Evidence from over 150 tree species in Panama: Supporting Data Open
This study evaluated how interspecific variation in diameter distributions relates to their growth-diameter and mortality-diameter curves and to population growth rates, using 25 y of demographic data from the 50-ha Barro Colorado Island p…

Integrating climate change into agroforestry conservation: a case study on native plant species in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Open
Designing multispecies systems with suitable climatic affinity and identifying species’ vulnerability under human-driven climate change are current challenges to achieve successful adaptation of natural systems. To address this problem, we…

Peri-procedural, 30-day and 1 year-outcomes in chronic dialysis patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation Open
Background Patients on chronic dialysis (CD) due to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis eligible for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) were excluded from randomized clinical trials. Our study…

Human impacts as the main driver of tropical forest carbon Open
Understanding the mechanisms controlling forest carbon storage is crucial to support “nature-based” solutions for climate change mitigation. We used a dataset of 892 Atlantic Forest inventories to assess the direct and indirect effects of …

Cross‐scale drivers of woody plant species commonness and rarity in the Brazilian drylands Open
Aim Locally abundant species are typically widespread, while locally scarce species are geographically restricted—the so‐called abundance‐occupancy relationships (AORs). AORs help explain the drivers of species rarity and community assembl…

Canopy openness and soil conditions explain community structure and diversity in a tropical seasonal forest in south-eastern Brazil Open
In tropical semi-deciduous forests, where 20-50 % of canopy trees shed their leaves in the dry season, species with varying degrees of leaf deciduousness share the same space and resources. Here, we describe the tree community in a 10.24-h…

Co-occurrences of tropical trees in eastern South America: disentangling abiotic and biotic forces Open
Species co-occurrences in local communities can arise independent or dependent on species’ niches. However, the role of niche-dependent processes has not been thoroughly deciphered when generalized to biogeographical scales, probably due t…

The erosion of biodiversity and biomass in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot Open
Tropical forests are being deforested worldwide, and the remaining fragments are suffering from biomass and biodiversity erosion. Quantifying this erosion is challenging because ground data on tropical biodiversity and biomass are often sp…

Defining endemism levels for biodiversity conservation: tree species in the Atlantic Forest hotspot Open
Endemic species are important for biodiversity conservation. Yet, quantifying endemism remains challenging because endemism concepts can be too strict (i.e., pure endemism) or too subjective (i.e., near endemism). We propose a data-driven …
