Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in wood density determines spatial patterns in Amazonian forest biomass
Timothy R. Baker,Timothy R. Baker,Oliver L. Phillips,Yadvinder Malhi,Samuel Almeida,Luzmila Arroyo,Anthony Di Fiore,Terry L. Erwin,Timothy J. Killeen,Susan G. Laurance,William F. Laurance,Simon L. Lewis,Jon Lloyd,Abel Monteagudo,David A. Neill,S. Patiño,Nigel C. A. Pitman,J. Natalino M. Silva,J. Natalino M. Silva,Rodolfo Vásquez Martínez +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative roles of species composition (wood specific gravity) and forest structure (basal area) in determining variation in aboveground biomass (AGB) of trees greater than 10cm diameter within Amazonia have been compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
The regional variation of aboveground live biomass in old‐growth Amazonian forests
Yadvinder Malhi,Yadvinder Malhi,Daniel Wood,Timothy R. Baker,James S. Wright,Oliver L. Phillips,Thomas A. Cochrane,Patrick Meir,Jérôme Chave,Samuel Almeida,L. Arroyo,Niro Higuchi,Timothy J. Killeen,Susan G. Laurance,William F. Laurance,Simon L. Lewis,Abel Monteagudo,David A. Neill,Percy Núñez Vargas,Nigel C. A. Pitman,Carlos A. Quesada,Rafael de Paiva Salomão,José Natalino Macedo Silva,José Natalino Macedo Silva,Armando Torres Lezama,John Terborgh,Rodolfo Vásquez Martínez,Barbara Vinceti +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a new synthesis and interpolation of the basal area and aboveground live biomass of old-growth lowland tropical forests across South America, based on data from 227 forest plots, many previously unpublished.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing dominance of large lianas in Amazonian forests
Oliver L. Phillips,Rodolfo Vásquez Martínez,Luzmila Arroyo,Timothy R. Baker,Timothy J. Killeen,Timothy J. Killeen,Simon L. Lewis,Simon L. Lewis,Yadvinder Malhi,Abel Monteagudo Mendoza,David A. Neill,Percy Núñez Vargas,Miguel Alexiades,Carlos Cerón,A. Di Fiore,Terry L. Erwin,A. Jardim,W. Palacios,M. Saldias,Barbara Vinceti +19 more
TL;DR: It is shown that non-fragmented Amazon forests are experiencing a concerted increase in the density, basal area and mean size of woody climbing plants (lianas), which implies that the tropical terrestrial carbon sink may shut down sooner than current models suggest.
Journal ArticleDOI
The above-ground coarse wood productivity of 104 Neotropical forest plots

Killeen,Susan G. Laurance,William F. Laurance,Simon L. Lewis,Lina Maria Mercado Montoya,Abel Monteagudo,David A. Neill,Percy Núñez Vargas,S. Patiño,Nigel C. A. Pitman,Carlos A. Quesada,Rafael de Paiva Salomão,José Natalino Macedo Silva,José Natalino Macedo Silva,Armando Torres Lezama,Rodolfo Vásquez Martínez,John Terborgh,Barbara Vinceti,Jon Lloyd +29 more
TL;DR: In this article, the above-ground coarse wood carbon productivity for 104 forest plots in lowland New World humid tropical forests, using a consistent calculation methodology that incorporates corrections for spatial variations in tree-size distributions and wood density, and for census interval length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing biomass in Amazonian forest plots.
Timothy R. Baker,Timothy R. Baker,Oliver L. Phillips,Yadvinder Malhi,Samuel Almeida,L. Arroyo,Anthony Di Fiore,Terry L. Erwin,Niro Higuchi,Timothy J. Killeen,Susan G. Laurance,William F. Laurance,Simon L. Lewis,Simon L. Lewis,Abel Monteagudo,David A. Neill,Percy Núñez Vargas,Nigel C. A. Pitman,Natalino Silva,Natalino Silva,Rodolfo Vásquez Martínez +20 more
TL;DR: The results presented here suggest that the total biomass of these plots has on average increased and that there has been a regional-scale carbon sink in old-growth Amazonian forests during the previous two decades.
