Long-term thermal sensitivity of Earth's tropical forests
The sensitivity of tropical forest carbon to climate is a key uncertainty in predicting global
climate change. Although short-term drying and warming are known to affect forests, it is …

Patterns and mechanisms of spatial variation in tropical forest productivity, woody residence time, and biomass
Tropical forests vary widely in biomass carbon (C) stocks and fluxes even after controlling for
forest age. A mechanistic understanding of this variation is critical to accurately predicting …

Legume abundance along successional and rainfall gradients in Neotropical forests
The nutrient demands of regrowing tropical forests are partly satisfied by nitrogen-fixing
legume trees, but our understanding of the abundance of those species is biased towards …
