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

Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests

Wannes Hubau, +132 more
- 04 Mar 2020 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Above-ground biomass and structure of 260 African tropical forests.

Simon L. Lewis, +74 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that AGB is mediated by both climate and soils, and suggest that the AGB of African closed-canopy tropical forests may be particularly sensitive to future precipitation and temperature changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change

Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert, +111 more
TL;DR: A slow shift to a more dry‐affiliated Amazonia is underway, with changes in compositional dynamics consistent with climate‐change drivers, but yet to significantly impact whole‐community composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperdominance in Amazonian forest carbon cycling

Sophie Fauset, +97 more
TL;DR: It is found that dominance of forest function is even more concentrated in a few species than is dominance of tree abundance, with only ≈1% of Amazon tree species responsible for 50% of carbon storage and productivity.
