Forest biomass monitoring is at the core of the research agenda due to the critical
importance of forest dynamics in the carbon cycle. However, forest biomass is never directly …

The tropical forest carbon sink is known to be drought sensitive, but it is unclear which
forests are the most vulnerable to extreme events. Forests with hotter and drier baseline …

The sensitivity of tropical forest carbon to climate is a key uncertainty in predicting global
climate change. Although short-term drying and warming are known to affect forests, it is …

Allometry determines how tree shape and function scale with each other, related through
size. Allometric relationships help scale processes from the individual to the global scale …

Structurally intact tropical forests sequestered about half of the global terrestrial carbon
uptake over the 1990s and early 2000s, removing about 15 per cent of anthropogenic …

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 …

The responses of tropical forests to environmental change are critical uncertainties in
predicting the future impacts of climate change. The positive phase of the 2015–2016 El …

Remote sensing (RS) studies aiming at map** forest biomass typically rely on ground-
based estimates of biomass for calibration or validation. Whatever the biophysical variable …

Due to the challenges brought by field measurements to estimate the aboveground biomass
(AGB), such as the remote locations and difficulties in walking in these areas, more accurate …

Tropical forests hold 30% of Earth's terrestrial carbon and at least 60% of its terrestrial
biodiversity, but forest loss and degradation are jeopardizing these ecosystems. Although …
