Small understory trees increase growth following sustained drought in the Amazon

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2787-2799, March 2026.
Summary Droughts pose a major threat to the Amazon rainforest, yet the mechanisms enabling trees to maintain growth under prolonged drought remain poorly understood, particularly in the understory layer. We leveraged a 22‐yr Throughfall Exclusion (TFE) in a 1‐ha plot in eastern Amazonia, paired with a Control plot, to test whether small understory ...
