In this study we show that logged tropical forests have reduced leaf nutrient concentrations compared with old-growth forests and this becomes more pronounced as forests recover in stature. Our findings suggest rock-derived nutrients, such as phosphorus, in short supply in…
The tallest trees currently found on Earth have reached their great heights by persisting and growing for centuries in the face of multiple hazards (Lindenmayer and Laurance 2016). The tropical rainforests of South America are not traditionally thought to harbor trees…
Both niche and stochastic dispersal processes structure the extraordinary diversity of tropical plants, but determining their relative contributions has proven challenging. We address this question using airborne imaging spectroscopy to estimate canopy β‐diversity for an extensive region of a Bornean…
