Edible Mushrooms of Peri-Urban Kichwa Communities in the Andes-Amazon Piedmont, Ecuador
Ecuador is a multicultural and megadiverse country where nearly 50 species of wild edible macrofungi (WEM), used by 12 indigenous peoples, have been reported. The Kichwa use 29 species of mushrooms, but aspects of their ecology are unknown. The aim of this study was to study the richness, use, substrates and fruiting seasons of WEM consumed by two peri-urban Kichwa communities settled in the piedmont between the Andes and the Amazon. Between May …
Hyperdominance in the Amazonian Tree Flora
Introduction Recent decades have seen a major international effort to inventory tree communities in the Amazon Basin and Guiana Shield (Amazonia), but the vast extent and record diversity of these forests have hampered an understanding of basinwide patterns. To overcome this obstacle, we compiled and standardized species-level data on more than half a million trees in 1170 plots sampling all major lowland forest types to explore patterns of commo…
Drought Sensitivity of the Amazon Rainforest
Amazon forests are a key but poorly understood component of the global carbon cycle. If, as anticipated, they dry this century, they might accelerate climate change through carbon losses and changed surface energy balances. We used records from multiple long-term monitoring plots across Amazonia to assess forest responses to the intense 2005 drought, a possible analog of future events. Affected forest lost biomass, reversing a large long-term car…
