Tropical forests are biologically diverse and structurally complex ecosystems that can store a
large quantity of carbon and support a great variety of plant and animal species. However …

The influences of trait diversity (ie, the niche complementarity effect) and functional
composition (ie, the mass ratio effect) on aboveground biomass (AGB) is a highly debated …

Large tropical trees store significant amounts of carbon in woody components and their
distribution plays an important role in forest carbon stocks and dynamics. Here, we explore …

Abstract Questions (1) Do stand density, species diversity and individual tree size variation
jointly increase above‐ground biomass (AGB) along an elevational gradient?(2) How does …

Subtropical forests certainly contribute to terrestrial global carbon storage, but we have
limited understanding about the relative amounts and of the drivers of above-ground …

Understanding the drivers of aboveground biomass (AGB) variation in present-day tropical
forests can contribute to management strategies that help mitigate against CO2-driven …

The quantity and spatial patterns of aboveground biomass (AGB) are expected to correlate
with ecosystem structure and biodiversity across biomes. However, the local and regional …

Aim Large trees (dbh≥ 70 cm) store large amounts of biomass. Several studies suggest that
large trees may be vulnerable to changing climate, potentially leading to declining forest …

Various studies have shown that plant species richness can promote ecosystem functions
such as biomass storage. However, it is less well known whether this is mostly driven by the …

Evaluating the influences of fine-scale habitat heterogeneity on the composition, diversity,
structure and functioning of forests is critical to understand how tropical forests will respond …
