Large old trees are some of the most iconic biota on earth and are integral parts of many
terrestrial ecosystems including those in tropical, temperate and boreal forests, deserts …

Tropical forests vary widely in biomass carbon (C) stocks and fluxes even after controlling for
forest age. A mechanistic understanding of this variation is critical to accurately predicting …

Tropical forests disappear rapidly because of deforestation, yet they have the potential to
regrow naturally on abandoned lands. We analyze how 12 forest attributes recover during …

The terrestrial forest carbon pool is poorly quantified, in particular in regions with low forest
inventory capacity. By combining multiple satellite observations of synthetic aperture radar …

Aim To examine the contribution of large‐diameter trees to biomass, stand structure, and
species richness across forest biomes. Location Global. Time period Early 21st century …

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 …

Remote sensing is revolutionizing the way we study forests, and recent technological
advances mean we are now able–for the first time–to identify and measure the crown …

Tropical forest biomass is a crucial component of global carbon emission estimations.
However, calibration and validation of such estimates require accurate and effective …

Climate change threatens ecosystems worldwide, yet their potential future resilience
remains largely unquantified. In recent years many studies have shown that biodiversity, and …

Accurately quantifying tree and forest structure is important for monitoring and
understanding terrestrial ecosystem functioning in a changing climate. The emergence of …
