Research Motivation
The Amazon basin supports the largest continuous tropical rain forest of the world, and harbors a spectacular species diversity of both plants and animals. However, understanding of Amazonian forest community assembly, species distributions, and the locations of major centers of diversity and endemism are still topics of debate in the international scientific community.
The distribution of Amazonian vegetation patterns in time and space worth investigation within the context of recovering current and past geological processes. This integration can be benefited by the increasing availability of computing resources, as well as remote sensing data and modern methods of spatial data analysis.
