Does biomass growth increase in the largest trees? Flaws, fallacies and alternative analyses
The long‐standing view that biomass growth in trees typically follows a rise‐and‐fall
unimodal pattern has been challenged by studies concluding that biomass growth increases …

Spatial distribution of carbon stored in forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo
National forest inventories in tropical regions are sparse and have large uncertainty in
capturing the physiographical variations of forest carbon across landscapes. Here, we …
