  • Inventory data from more than 1 million trees across African, Amazonian and Southeast Asian tropical forests suggests that, despite their high diversity, just 1,053 species, representing a consistent ~2.2% of tropical tree species in each region, constitute half of Earth’s 800 billion tropical trees.

  • Data from 2 million individual trees spanning 1,781 species reveal that tropical forests can be grouped into four size-dependent life-history survival modes, the application of which in demographic simulations predicts biomass change.

  • Neutral theory, in which species do not interact, has been used to try to understand the relative species abundance of tropical forests, although its validity been questioned. A non-interacting theory with similarities and differences to conventional neutral theory is developed. The approach provides a unified and quantitatively accurate description of relative species abundance data from both tropical forests and coral reefs.

  • A global analysis shows that for most tree species the largest trees are the fastest-growing trees, a finding that resolves conflicting assumptions about tree growth and that has implications for understanding forest carbon dynamics, resource allocation trade-offs within trees and plant senescence.
