Plants cope with the environment by displaying large phenotypic variation. Two spectra of global plant form and function have been identified: a size spectrum from small to tall species with increasing stem tissue density, leaf size, and seed mass; a …
*Ecclinusa guianensis* (Sapotaceae, Chrysophylloideae) is a morpho-ecologically variable species and the second most widespread species of *Ecclinusa* in the Amazon basin. In Central Amazonia, two distinct leaf morphotypes can be field-recognized …
_Pentaclethra macroloba_ is a hyperdominant species with multiple uses in the Amazon. This species tolerates varying flood amplitudes, however the effect of flood topographic gradient on its ecophysiology remains unclear. We want to know if …
We describe the geographical variation in tree species composition across Amazonian forests and show how environmental conditions are associated with species turnover. Our analyses are based on 2023 forest inventory plots (1 ha) that provide …
Based on fertile material collected in January 2019, we report the first record of *Pradosia ptychandra* (Sapotaceae, Chrysophylloideae) to the flora of Amapá state, eastern Brazilian Amazonia. This new record fills a geographical gap between its …
This paper aims to describe and illustrate the fruits, seeds, and seedlings of *Chromolucuma flavilatex* (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from central Amazonia and briefly discusses their taxonomic relevance. The observed characters can support our …
In light of the recent findings in Neotropical Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae), it can be understood that *Pouteria kossmanniae* is a member of *Lucuma*, not *Pouteria*, which is why we performed a new combination and increased the number of …
Seedling morphology studies have contributed to provide useful data in delimiting different levels of taxonomic groups over the past several decades. Thus, the purpose of this note is to describe on the seedling morphology of *Pouteria franciscana* …
Detailed knowledge about structural attributes and spatial patterns of tree species is fundamental to enable sustainable management of forest resources. However, this knowledge remains poorly understood in the context of eastern Amazonian floodplain …
A new species from central Amazonia, *Chromolucuma brevipedicellata* (Sapotaceae, Chrysophylloideae) is described and illustrated. It occurs in terra firme (non-flooded) forests near Manaus, Brazil. We compare *C. brevipedicellata* to similar species …
