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

Amazon forest response to repeated droughts

Ted R. Feldpausch, +58 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of the 2010 Amazon drought on forest dynamics using ground-based observations of mortality and growth from an extensive forest plot network and found that during the 2010 drought interval, forests did not gain biomass (net change: −0.43
Journal ArticleDOI

The RAINFOR database: monitoring forest biomass and dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a relational database linking tree records, taxonomic nomenclature and corresponding environmental data has been built in MS Access as part of the RAINFOR project.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does the disturbance hypothesis explain the biomass increase in basin-wide Amazon forest plot data?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize statistically the disturbance process in Amazon old-growth forests as recorded in 135 forest plots of the RAINFOR network up to 2006, and explore the consequences of sampling artefacts using a data-based stochastic simulator.
Journal ArticleDOI

After trees die: quantities and determinants of necromass across Amazonia

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model was applied to estimate and extrapolate necromass stocks across terra firma Amazonian forests, and the results showed that necrophages are positively related to both forest dynamics and a surrogate for decomposition rate (average wood density of living trees).
