Predicting species diversity in tropical forests
... To test the basic principles of SARs—with an aim toward generalizing the power law—we have analyzed five 50-hectare (ha) plots of tropical forests across the globe. Although tropical forests cover only 7% of the Earth’s land surface, they contain more than half of the world’s species (6). Tropical f ...

Over 800 million humans live in the tropical forests and woodlands [6] and often rely on the wide range of food, medicinal plants or other products they can gather from fore ...
