Tropical rainforests in the world harbor an astonishing range of plant species. This is clearly reflected in the Amazon rainforest, which is home to more than 40,000 plant species. The presence of a hot, humid climate enables these plant species to thrive. Some plant species grow pretty quick...

Characterizing changes in microbial C cycling and allocation is particularly important in tropical rainforest soils where droughts will probably occur more frequently and last longer due to climate change23,24. Detecting shifts in microbial C cycling and allocation within complex metabolic ...
As one of Earth’s most carbon-dense regions, tropical forests are central to climate change mitigation efforts. Their unparalleled species richness also makes them vital for safeguarding biodiversity. However, because research has not been conducted at management-relevant scales and has often not acco...
Rates of FLNF were low in primary rainforest on poor soils on the Guiana shield. Water was the most important rate-regulating factor and FLNF increased with increasing P, but decreased with increasing N. Our results support the general assumption that N fixation in tropical lowland forests is...
