About this document
Soil Factors Drive Tree Diversity in Amazon by Bernardo Tadeu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study examines how soil factors and stand age influence tree phylogenetic diversity and structure during forest succession in the Northern Amazon after shifting cultivation. The study finds that soil attributes, particularly soil texture and nutrients, have a significant impact on phylogenetic metrics, while stand age does not. Higher soil fertility is found to increase phylogenetic diversity by favoring growth of distantly related species. Soil conditions affected by shifting cultivation may reduce so
