Holocene increases in palm abundances in north‐western Amazonia

2020-03-01

Abstract excerpt

AIM: In Amazonia, 227 of c. 16,000 tree species account for half the individual trees (termed ‘hyperdominant’ species), and a disproportionate number of these species are palms. Our objectives are to show how and whether palm abundance has changed through the Holocene. Here, we reconstruct a detailed fire and vegetation history from north‐western Amazonia, with a focus on changes in palm abundances, and compare ou...
