Journal ArticleDOI

Drought sensitivity of the Amazon rainforest.

TL;DR: Records from multiple long-term monitoring plots across Amazonia are used to assess forest responses to the intense 2005 drought, a possible analog of future events that may accelerate climate change through carbon losses and changed surface energy balances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperdominance in the Amazonian Tree Flora

Hans ter Steege, +125 more
- 18 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: The finding that Amazonia is dominated by just 227 tree species implies that most biogeochemical cycling in the world’s largest tropical forest is performed by a tiny sliver of its diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

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.
