Basin-wide variations in Amazon forest structure and function are mediated by both soils and climate

Basin-wide variations in Amazon forest structure and function are mediated by both soils and climate

Forest structure and dynamics vary across the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology. This has resulted in the hypothesis that soil fertility may play an important role in explaining Basin-wide variations in forest biomass, growth and stem turn...
