J.A.-G. conceived the study, designed, performed and obtained funding for the analyses and wrote the first draft of the paper. S.W.R. and Y.M. contributed to the main ideas of the study. X.D. and H.Z-Z. performed spatial analyses. Y.M. conceived and implemented the GEM network, obtained funding for most of the GEM trait field campaigns and commented on earlier versions of the manuscript. O.L.P. conceived and implemented ForestPlots.net together with T.R.B., obtained funding for most of its development, management, and support to tropical American partners, and commented on earlier versions of the manuscript. J.J.C.-R conceived and implemented the MONAFOR network, which is maintained and continues development also with support from M.G.N.-M and J.A.G.
