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 …

The long‐standing view that biomass growth in trees typically follows a rise‐and‐fall
unimodal pattern has been challenged by studies concluding that biomass growth increases …

Large old trees have declined worldwide, even though they play a prominent role in
biodiversity and also in carbon stocks of forests. We were interested in the contribution of …

Accurate estimates of forest biomass stocks and fluxes are needed to quantify global carbon
budgets and assess the response of forests to climate change. However, most forest …

Forests and woodlands are critical terrestrial carbon stores. Tree aboveground biomass
(AGB) can be estimated using allometric models and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) …

Wood plays a vital role in the terrestrial carbon cycle, both sequestering and subsequently
releasing carbon to the atmosphere via decomposition. Decomposition has largely been …

Premise of the study: Field methodology and image analysis protocols using acoustic
tomography were developed and evaluated as a tool to estimate the amount of internal …

Deadwood is known to significantly contribute to global terrestrial carbon stocks and carbon
cycling, but its decay dynamics are still not thoroughly understood. Although the chemistry of …

Deadwood in tropical ecosystems represents an important but poorly studied carbon (C)
pool. Biologically mediated decay of this pool occurs by both saprotrophic microbes and …

Efforts to enhance carbon storage in forest ecosystems through policy and management
decisions rely on accurate forest biomass assessments. However, most forest inventories …
