The structure, distribution, and biomass of the world's forests
Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. We review the environmental
factors controlling their structure and global distribution and evaluate their current and future …

Terrestrial laser scanning for plot-scale forest measurement
Plot-scale measurements have been the foundation for forest surveys and reporting for over
200 years. Through recent integration with airborne and satellite remote sensing, manual …

Tropical forests post-logging are a persistent net carbon source to the atmosphere
Logged and structurally degraded tropical forests are fast becoming one of the most
prevalent land-use types throughout the tropics and are routinely assumed to be a net …

Soil carbon stocks in stable tropical landforms are dominated by geochemical controls and not by land use
Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics depend on soil properties derived from the geoclimatic
conditions under which soils develop and are in many cases modified by land conversion …

The Global Ecosystems Monitoring network: Monitoring ecosystem productivity and carbon cycling across the tropics
A rich understanding of the productivity, carbon and nutrient cycling of terrestrial ecosystems
is essential in the context of understanding, modelling and managing the future response of …

The impact of logging on vertical canopy structure across a gradient of tropical forest degradation intensity in Borneo
Forest degradation through logging is pervasive throughout the world's tropical forests,
leading to changes in the three‐dimensional canopy structure that have profound …

Spatial patterns of above-ground structure, biomass and composition in a network of six Andean elevation transects
CAJ Girardin, W Farfan-Rios, K Garcia… - Plant Ecology & …, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
Background: The Amazon to Andes transition zone provides large expanses of relatively
pristine forest wilderness across environmental gradients. Such elevational gradients are an …

Contrasting carbon cycle along tropical forest aridity gradients in West Africa and Amazonia
Tropical forests cover large areas of equatorial Africa and play a substantial role in the
global carbon cycle. However, there has been a lack of biometric measurements to …

Major and persistent shifts in below‐ground carbon dynamics and soil respiration following logging in tropical forests
Soil respiration is the largest carbon efflux from the terrestrial ecosystem to the atmosphere,
and selective logging influences soil respiration via changes in abiotic (temperature …
