Realistic forecasting of forest responses to climate change critically depends on key advancements in global vegetation modelling. Compared with traditional 'big-leaf'models …
Forests are major components of the global carbon (C) cycle and thereby strongly influence atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) and climate. However, efforts to incorporate forests into …
Tropical forests take up more carbon (C) from the atmosphere per annum by photosynthesis than any other type of vegetation. Phosphorus (P) limitations to C uptake are paramount for …
Tropical forests are hyper‐diverse and perform critical functions that regulate global climate, yet they are also threatened by rising temperatures. Canopy temperatures depart …
Mapping tropical forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is important for quantifying emissions from land use change and evaluating climate mitigation strategies but remains a challenging …
Atmospheric CO2 (ca) rise changes the physiology and possibly growth of tropical trees, but these effects are likely modified by climate. Such ca× climate interactions importantly drive …
Forest dynamic models predict the current and future states of ecosystems and are a nexus between physiological processes and empirical data, forest plot inventories and remote …
Given their ability to provide food, raw material and alleviate poverty, oil palm (OP) plantations are driving significant losses of biodiversity-rich tropical forests, fuelling a heated …
Forests play an influential role in the global carbon (C) cycle, storing roughly half of terrestrial C and annually exchanging with the atmosphere more than five times the carbon …
