Abstract

The forests of Amazonia are among the most biodiverse plant communities on Earth. Given the immediate threats posed by climate and land-use change, an improved understanding of how this extraordinary biodiversity is spatially organized is urgently required to develop effective conservation strategies. Most Amazonian tree species are extremely rare but a few are common across the region. Indeed, just 227 ‘hyperdominant’ species account for >50% of all individuals >10 cm diameter at 1.3 m in height. Yet, the degree to which the phenomenon of hyperdominance is sensitive to tree size, the extent to which the composition of dominant species changes with size class and how evolutionary history constrains tree hyperdominance, all remain unknown. Here, we use a large floristic dataset to show that, while hyperdominance is a universal phenomenon across forest strata, different species dominate the forest understory, midstory and canopy. We further find that, although species belonging to a range of phylogenetically dispersed lineages have become hyperdominant in small size classes, hyperdominants in large size classes are restricted to a few lineages. Our results demonstrate that it is essential to consider all forest strata to understand regional patterns of dominance and composition in Amazonia. More generally, through the lens of 654 hyperdominant species, we outline a tractable pathway for understanding the functioning of half of Amazonian forests across vertical strata and geographical locations.

19. New species and a new record of Pterichis sect. Pterichis (Orchidaceae) from Bolivia

Author

Kolanowska, M., Baranow, P., Nowak, S., Fuentes, A.F., Kolanowska, M., Baranow, P., Nowak, S., and Fuentes, A.F.

Abstract

Pterichis comprises about 40 species distributed from Costa Rica in the north to Bolivia in the south. The species grow as terrestrial plants usually in paramo and subparamo, but there are also reports of populations in high montane forest. In this paper the complete enumeration of the six Bolivian representatives of the orchid genus Pterichis sect. Pterichis is presented.A total of four new species are described and one new record, P. aragogiana, for the country is reported. An updated key to the species of the nominal section of Pterichis from Bolivia is presented.

Abstract

The vast extent of the Amazon Basin has historically restricted the study of its tree communities to the local and regional scales. Here, we provide empirical data on the commonness, rarity, and richness of lowland tree species across the entire Amazon Basin and Guiana Shield (Amazonia), collected in 1170 tree plots in all major forest types. Extrapolations suggest that Amazonia harbors roughly 16,000 tree species, of which just 227 (1.4%) account for half of all trees. Most of these are habitat specialists and only dominant in one or two regions of the basin. We discuss some implications of the finding that a small group of species—less diverse than the North American tree flora—accounts for half of the world’s most diverse tree community.

Abstract

Abstract: Nanoparticles of bismuth-layered ferroelectric and photocatalytic material, Bi2WO6, have been prepared by mechanochemical synthesis and firing of amorphous precursor prepared in metathesis reaction. The effect of different synthesis methods and crystallite size on the structure and properties of Bi2WO6 nanoparticles have been investigated using the XRD, TEM, DTA, DTG, diffuse reflectivity, conductivity measurements, Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The results show that the smallest particles could be obtained by mechanochemical synthesis. However, this method introduced large number of crystal defects. The conductivity of this sample is higher by half an order of magnitude, in comparison with conductivities measured for the other samples studied in this paper or previously reported in the literature for Bi2WO6. Our results also show that firing the amorphous precursor with NaNO3 by-product yields material composed of small, well-crystallized particles containing small number of crystal defects. This result shows that this synthesis method is the best route to enhance photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6. Raman and IR studies also suggest that the orthorhombic distortion diminishes with decreasing particle size. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
