How ecologists think about above‐ground forest structure and dynamics is fundamentally
shaped by the data we can collect. This has historically been limited to what is possible with …

Map** aboveground forest biomass is central for assessing the global carbon balance.
However, current large-scale maps show strong disparities, despite good validation statistics …

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 …

Forests contribute to climate change mitigation through carbon storage and uptake, but the
extent to which this carbon pool varies in space and time is still poorly known. Several Earth …

Landscape changes resulting from anthropogenic activities and climate changes severely
impact surface water quality. A global perspective on understanding their relationship is a …

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and transition to a new forest inventory system,
Russia has reported almost no change in growing stock (+ 1.8%) and biomass (+ 0.6%). Yet …

Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better 10
understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts 11 …

Abstract The Global Carbon Project estimates that the terrestrial biosphere has absorbed
about one‐third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions during the 1959–2019 period. This sink …

Forests are major components of the global carbon (C) cycle and thereby strongly influence
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) and climate. However, efforts to incorporate forests into …

Tropical rainforests harbor exceptionally high biodiversity and store large amounts of carbon
in vegetation biomass. However, regional variation in plant species richness and vegetation …
