Journal ArticleDOI

The 2010 Amazon Drought

Simon L. Lewis, +4 more
- 04 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: A decade of satellite-derived rainfall data is analyzed to compare both the 2010 and 2005 drought in Amazonia and predict the impact of the 2010 drought as 2.2 × 1015 grams of carbon, largely longer-term committed emissions from drought-induced tree deaths.
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

Increasing carbon storage in intact African tropical forests

Simon L. Lewis, +34 more
- 19 Feb 2009 - 
TL;DR: Taxon-specific analyses of African inventory and other data suggest that widespread changes in resource availability, such as increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, may be the cause of the increase in carbon stocks, as some theory and models predict.
Journal ArticleDOI

TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in the carbon balance of tropical forests: evidence from long-term plots

Oliver L. Phillips, +10 more
- 16 Oct 1998 - 
TL;DR: Long-term monitoring of plots in mature humid tropical forests concentrated in South America revealed that biomass gain by tree growth exceeded losses from tree death in 38 of 50 Neotropical sites, suggesting that Neotropic forests may be a significant carbon sink.
