Amacayacu

 

Overview

The Amacayacu site is located at the Amacayacu National Natural Park, Colombian Amazonia. The site was established on Tertiary sedimentary plains (Pebas Formation), characterized by a hilly and moderated dissected topography.

As of December 2022, the state of advance in the establishment of the plot is as follows:

  • Three full censuses completed (currently identifying recruits of the third census)
  • Soil fertility data
  • Topographic survey
  • Climate data
  • Drone-derived canopy orthomosaics (2013 and 2019)
  • Soil moisture probes
  • Primary productivity data for 16 months (litterfall traps)
  • Functional traits (whole-tree, branch, leaf, stomata, fruits, wood anatomy)
  • Annual mortality and damage censuses
  • Wood decomposition
  • Seedling plots
  • Phenology
  • Several other studies are in process (e.g., metabolomics)
