Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in wood density determines spatial patterns in Amazonian forest biomass
Timothy R. Baker,Timothy R. Baker,Oliver L. Phillips,Yadvinder Malhi,Samuel Almeida,Luzmila Arroyo,Anthony Di Fiore,Terry L. Erwin,Timothy J. Killeen,Susan G. Laurance,William F. Laurance,Simon L. Lewis,Jon Lloyd,Abel Monteagudo,David A. Neill,S. Patiño,Nigel C. A. Pitman,J. Natalino M. Silva,J. Natalino M. Silva,Rodolfo Vásquez Martínez +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative roles of species composition (wood specific gravity) and forest structure (basal area) in determining variation in aboveground biomass (AGB) of trees greater than 10cm diameter within Amazonia have been compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the above-ground coarse wood carbon productivity for 104 forest plots in lowland New World humid tropical forests, using a consistent calculation methodology that incorporates corrections for spatial variations in tree-size distributions and wood density, and for census interval length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing biomass in Amazonian forest plots.
Timothy R. Baker,Timothy R. Baker,Oliver L. Phillips,Yadvinder Malhi,Samuel Almeida,L. Arroyo,Anthony Di Fiore,Terry L. Erwin,Niro Higuchi,Timothy J. Killeen,Susan G. Laurance,William F. Laurance,Simon L. Lewis,Simon L. Lewis,Abel Monteagudo,David A. Neill,Percy Núñez Vargas,Nigel C. A. Pitman,Natalino Silva,Natalino Silva,Rodolfo Vásquez Martínez +20 more
TL;DR: The results presented here suggest that the total biomass of these plots has on average increased and that there has been a regional-scale carbon sink in old-growth Amazonian forests during the previous two decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Conservation Significance of Ecuador's Yasuní National Park
Margot Bass,Matt Finer,Clinton N. Jenkins,Clinton N. Jenkins,Holger Kreft,Diego F. Cisneros-Heredia,Diego F. Cisneros-Heredia,Shawn F. McCracken,Nigel C. A. Pitman,Peter H. English,Kelly Swing,Gorky Villa,Anthony Di Fiore,Christian C. Voigt,Thomas H. Kunz +14 more
TL;DR: Yasuní has outstanding global conservation significance due to its extraordinary biodiversity and potential to sustain this biodiversity in the long term because of its large size and wilderness character, and likelihood of maintaining wet, rainforest conditions while anticipated climate change-induced drought intensifies in the eastern Amazon.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Pantropical biomass maps are widely used by governments and by projects aiming to reduce deforestation using carbon offsets, but may have significant regional biases and carbon accounting techniques must be revised to account for the known ecological variation in tree wood density and allometry.
