Journal ArticleDOI

Structural, physiognomic and above-ground biomass variation in savanna–forest transition zones on three continents – how different are co-occurring savanna and forest formations?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present detailed stratified floristic and structural analyses for forest and savanna stands located mostly within zones of transition (where both vegetation types occur in close proximity) in Africa, South America and Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Field methods for sampling tree height for tropical forest biomass estimation

Martin J. P. Sullivan, +56 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that even limited sampling of heights can be used to refine height–diameter allometries, and recommends aiming for a conservative threshold of sampling 50 trees per location for height measurement, and including the ten trees with the largest diameter in this sample.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pan-tropical prediction of forest structure from the largest trees

Jean-François Bastin, +142 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a pan-tropical model was proposed to predict plot-level forest structure properties and biomass from only the largest trees, which can be used to generate accurate field estimates of tropical forest carbon stocks to support the calibration and validation of current and forthcoming space missions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating aboveground net biomass change for tropical and subtropical forests : refinement of IPCC default rates using forest plot data

TL;DR: This study provides a rigorous and traceable refinement of the IPCC 2006 default rates in tropical and subtropical ecological zones, and identifies which areas require more research on ∆AGB.
Journal ArticleDOI

How do trees die? Mode of death in northern Amazonia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how trees die in high-mortality and low mortality Amazonian forest regions and why they die in different ways, in a Humid, lowland forests in Amazonian Peru and Venezuela.
