Secondary forests are increasingly important components of human‐modified landscapes in
the tropics. Successional pathways, however, can vary enormously across and within …

Globally, many rivers are experiencing declining water quality, for example, with altered
levels of sediments, salts, and nutrients. Effective water quality management requires a …

ForestGEO is a network of scientists and long-term forest dynamics plots (FDPs) spanning
the Earth's major forest types. ForestGEO's mission is to advance understanding of the …

Aim Tropical forests store 25% of global carbon and harbour 96% of the world's tree species,
but it is not clear whether this high biodiversity matters for carbon storage. Few studies have …

Amazonia contains the most extensive tropical forests on Earth, but Amazon carbon sinks of
atmospheric CO2 are declining, as deforestation and climate-change-associated droughts …

We synthesize findings from one of the world's largest and longest‐running experimental
investigations, the B iological D ynamics of F orest F ragments P roject (BDFFP). Spanning …

Tropical rainforests store enormous amounts of carbon, the protection of which represents a
vital component of efforts to mitigate global climate change. Currently, tropical forest …

Forest structure and dynamics vary across the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient
coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology. This has resulted in the hypothesis that …

Aim Large trees (dbh≥ 70 cm) store large amounts of biomass. Several studies suggest that
large trees may be vulnerable to changing climate, potentially leading to declining forest …

The above-ground biomass (AGB) of tropical forests is a crucial variable for ecologists,
biogeochemists, foresters and policymakers. Tree inventories are an efficient way of …
