Long-term decline of the Amazon carbon sink

Roel J. W. Brienen, +101 more
- 19 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is confirmed that Amazon forests have acted as a long-term net biomass sink, but the observed decline of the Amazon sink diverges markedly from the recent increase in terrestrial carbon uptake at the global scale, and is contrary to expectations based on models
Journal ArticleDOI

Height-diameter allometry of tropical forest trees

Ted R. Feldpausch, +60 more
- 05 May 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a new global tropical forest database consisting of 39 955 concurrent H and D measurements encompassing 283 sites in 22 tropical countries, and used this database to determine if H:D relationships differ by geographic region and forest type (wet to dry forests, including zones of tension where forest and savanna overlap).
Journal ArticleDOI

Tree height integrated into pantropical forest biomass estimates

Ted R. Feldpausch, +87 more
- 27 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of tree height (H) on tropical forest biomass and carbon storage estimates was investigated using data from 20 sites across four continents, and the results showed that tree H is an important allometric factor that needs to be included in future forest biomass estimates to reduce error in estimates of tropical carbon stocks and emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity enhances carbon storage in tropical forests

Lourens Poorter, +70 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a structural equation model to test the hypothesis that species richness, forest structural attributes and environmental drivers have independent, positive effects on aboveground biomass (AGB) and ecosystem functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change

Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert, +111 more
TL;DR: A slow shift to a more dry‐affiliated Amazonia is underway, with changes in compositional dynamics consistent with climate‐change drivers, but yet to significantly impact whole‐community composition.
