Dominance of primary rain forests by the ectomycorrhizal, leguminous canopy tree Dicymbe
corymbosa (Caesalpiniaceae) was investigated in the Pakaraima Mountains of western …

Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics
where a single tree species is dominant. Such “monodominant” forests are known from all of …

The tropical monodominant tree Dicymbe corymbosa reiterates via epicormic shoots and
roots, resulting in multistemmed trees with complex pseudotrunks and root mounds. In 2 ha …

Various explanations have been put forward for monodominance in otherwise diverse
tropical forests. This study assesses if the monodominance of Peltogyne gracilipes on …

In Guyana, we investigated seed output, and resulting seedling establishment and survival,
during a 'mast'year, by the ectomycorrhizal, monodominant rainforest canopy tree Dicymbe …

The adequate protection and sustainable management of a tropical rain forest requires a
good knowledge of its biodiversity. Although considerable parts of Guyana's North-West …

The contribution of mycorrhizal associations to maintaining tree diversity patterns in tropical
rain forests is poorly known. Many tropical monodominant trees form ectomycorrhizal (EM) …

Most tropical rain forests contain diverse arrays of tree species that form arbuscular
mycorrhizae. In contrast, the less common monodominant rain forests, in which one tree …

This work tested the hypothesis that ectomycorrhizas (EM) of Dicymbe corymbosa alter leaf-
litter decomposition and residual litter quality in tropical forests of Guyana.• Mass loss of leaf …

Three ectomycorrhizal legume trees, Microberlinia bisulcata, Tetraberlinia bifoliolata and T.
moreliana, form discrete groves in the southern part of Korup National Park, in southwest …
