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 …

Global impacts of edge effects on species richness
Almost all world's forest areas are predicted to be near edges by 2100, making the detection
and prediction of biodiversity responses to edges an urgent need. Yet, idiosyncratic …
