What is it about?
Evaluating functional identity and trait composition should be a premise to select species during tropical forest restoration, which can be are important to optimize forest multifunctionality to mitigate climate change effects.

Why is it important?
The results demonstrate the relationships among technosol fertility, biotic attributes, such as species richness, stem count and functional composition with AGB of tree species undergoing different restoration methods in the Atlantic forests.
Perspectives
Evaluating functional identity and trait composition should be a premise to select species during tropical forest restoration. • Autochoric dispersal and nitrogen-fixing trees species as biomass dominant groups have an important role during forest restoration on mining tailings. Therefore, the effects of functional composition and restoration methods are key preditors on ecosystem functioning during forest restoration
