Higher levels of taxonomic and evolutionary diversity are expected to maximize ecosystem function, yet their relative importance in driving variation in ecosystem function at large scales in diverse forests is unknown. Using 90 inventory plots across intact, lowland, terra firme, Amazonian forests and a new phylogeny including 526 angiosperm genera, we investigated the association between taxonomic and evolutionary metrics of diversity and two key measures of ecosystem function: aboveground wood productivity and biomass storage. While taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity were not important predictors of variation in biomass, both emerged as independent predictors of wood productivity. Amazon forests that contain greater evolutionary diversity and a higher proportion of rare species have higher productivity. While climatic and edaphic variables are together the strongest predictors of productivity, our results show that the evolutionary diversity of tree species in diverse forest stands also influences productivity. As our models accounted for wood density and tree size, they also suggest that additional, unstudied, evolutionarily correlated traits have significant effects on ecosystem function in tropical forests. Overall, our pan-Amazonian analysis shows that greater phylogenetic diversity translates into higher levels of ecosystem function: tropical forest communities with more distantly related taxa have greater wood productivity.

进化多样性与亚马逊森林的木材生产力有关。

更高水平的分类学和进化多样性有望最大程度地发挥生态系统的功能，但在驱动各种森林中大规模生态系统功能变化方面的相对重要性尚不清楚。我们使用了完整，低地，硬地，亚马逊森林和包括526个被子植物属的新系统发育树的90个样地，研究了生物分类和进化指标与生态系统功能的两个关键指标之间的关联：地上木材生产力和生物量存储。虽然分类学和系统发育多样性不是生物量变化的重要预测指标，但两者都成为木材生产力的独立预测指标。亚马逊森林的进化多样性更大，稀有物种比例更高，生产力更高。虽然气候变量和水生变量共同是生产力的最强预测因子，但我们的结果表明，不同林分中树木物种的进化多样性也影响生产力。由于我们的模型考虑了木材的密度和树木的大小，因此它们还表明，其他未经研究的，与进化相关的性状对热带森林的生态系统功能具有重大影响。总体而言，我们的泛亚马逊分析表明，更大的系统发育多样性转化为更高水平的生态系统功能：具有更密切相关的分类单元的热带森林群落具有更高的木材生产力。由于我们的模型考虑了木材的密度和树木的大小，因此它们还表明，其他未经研究的，与进化相关的性状对热带森林的生态系统功能具有重大影响。总体而言，我们的泛亚马逊分析表明，更大的系统发育多样性转化为更高水平的生态系统功能：具有更密切相关的分类单元的热带森林群落具有更高的木材生产力。由于我们的模型考虑了木材的密度和树木的大小，因此它们还表明，其他未经研究的，与进化相关的性状对热带森林的生态系统功能具有重大影响。总体而言，我们的泛亚马逊分析表明，更大的系统发育多样性转化为更高水平的生态系统功能：具有更密切相关的分类单元的热带森林群落具有更高的木材生产力。
