Tree mortality rates appear to be increasing in moist tropical forests (MTF s) with significant carbon cycle consequences. Here, we review the state of knowledge regarding MTF tree …
Evidence exists that tree mortality is accelerating in some regions of the tropics,, with profound consequences for the future of the tropical carbon sink and the global …
Humans rely on healthy forests to supply energy, building materials, and food and to provide services such as storing carbon, hosting biodiversity, and regulating climate. Defining forest …
Atmospheric carbon dioxide records indicate that the land surface has acted as a strong global carbon sink over recent decades,, with a substantial fraction of this sink probably …
Tree mortality appears to be increasing in moist tropical forests, with potentially important implications for global carbon and water cycles. Little is known about the drivers of tree …
For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” …
Most of the planet's diversity is concentrated in the tropics, which includes many regions undergoing rapid climate change. Yet, while climate‐induced biodiversity changes are …
Understanding tropical forest dynamics and planning for their sustainable management require efficient, yet accurate, predictions of the joint dynamics of hundreds of tree species …
Amazon forests have experienced frequent and severe droughts in the past two decades. However, little is known about the large-scale legacy of droughts on carbon stocks and …
