  abstract = {{P}lants cope with the environment by displaying large phenotypic variation. {T}wo spectra of global plant form and function have been identified: a size spectrum from small to tall species with increasing stem tissue density, leaf size, and seed mass; a leaf economics spectrum reflecting slow to fast returns on investments in leaf nutrients and carbon. {W}hen species assemble to communities it is assumed that these spectra are filtered by the environment to produce community level functional composition. {I}t is unknown what are the main drivers for community functional composition in a large area such as {A}mazonia. {W}e use 13 functional traits, including wood density, seed mass, leaf characteristics, breeding system, nectar production, fruit type, and root characteristics of 812 tree genera (5211 species), and find that they describe two main axes found at the global scale. {A}t community level, the first axis captures not only the 'fast-slow spectrum', but also most size-related traits. {C}limate and disturbance explain a minor part of this variance compared to soil fertility. {F}orests on poor soils differ largely in terms of trait values from those on rich soils. {T}rait composition and soil fertility exert a strong influence on forest functioning: biomass and relative biomass production.},
