TL;DR: Overall, the uptake of carbon into Earth’s intact tropical forests peaked in the 1990s and independent observations indicating greater recent carbon uptake into the Northern Hemisphere landmass reinforce the conclusion that the intact tropical forest carbon sink has already peaked.

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of large trees for tropical forest biomass storage and explore which intrinsic (species trait) and extrinsic (environment) variables are associated with the density of trees and forest biomass at continental and pan-tropical scales.

TL;DR: Analysis of the largest survey dataset ever assembled for forest elephants revealed that population size declined by ca.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between aboveground tropical forest C storage, biodiversity and environmental drivers and how these relationships inform theory concerning ecosystem function and biodiversity, and they found that aboveground C storage in tropical forests increased with both taxonomic diversity and functional dominance.

TL;DR: A range-wide assessment of sympatric western lowland gorillas and central chimpanzees using the largest survey data set ever assembled for these taxa, which predicted density across each taxon’s geographic range, allowing for overall abundance to be significantly higher than previous estimates.
