Long-term analysis reveals slow shifts in species composition in tropical forests of the Amazon and Andes, indicating potential extinction risks.

Species composition changes were slower than regional warming, highlighting a disconnect.
Thermophilization rates were positive but varied significantly across different forest plots.
Tree mortality and reduced growth in cool-adapted species primarily influenced community shifts.
The ability of lowland Amazonian trees to migrate upward in response to warming appears limited.

Farfán‐Rios et al. (2025) studied this question.
