Mapping density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora.
Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated drivers for diversity and richness. Using only location, stratified by forest type, as predictor, our spatial model, to the best of our knowledge, provides the most... -

Occurrence-based diversity estimation reveals macroecological and conservation knowledge gaps for global woody plants.
Incomplete sampling of species’ geographic distributions has challenged biogeographers for many years to precisely quantify global-scale biodiversity patterns. After correcting for the spatial inequality of sample completeness, we generated a global species diversity map for woody angiosperms (82,974 species, 13,959,780 occurrence records). The standardized diversity estimated more pronounced latitudinal and... -

Implications of a local flora survey for pre‐human grass flora in north‐western Madagascar.
On apprend aux enfants de Madagascar que leurs ancêtres ont détruit la vaste forêt ancienne donnant naissance aux prairies modernes, un mythe trompeur qui continue à saper la relation des gens avec la nature. Remplacer ce mythe par un récit plus nuancé et précis sur les écosystèmes herbeux est... -

Connecting the multiple dimensions of global soil fungal diversity.
How the multiple facets of soil fungal diversity vary worldwide remains virtually unknown, hindering the management of this essential species-rich group. By sequencing high-resolution DNA markers in over 4000 topsoil samples from natural and human-altered ecosystems across all continents, we illustrate the distributions and drivers of different levels of taxonomic... -

How diverse are the mountain karst forests of Mexico?
Tropical forests on karstic relief (tropical karst forest) are among the most species-rich biomes. These forests play pivotal roles as global climate regulators and for human wellbeing. Their long-term conservation could be central to global climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation. In Mexico, karst landscapes occupy 20% of the total land...
