Patterns and mechanisms of spatial variation in tropical forest productivity, woody residence time, and biomass
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 …

Multi-scale integration of satellite remote sensing improves characterization of dry-season green-up in an Amazon tropical evergreen forest
In tropical forests, leaf phenology—particularly the pronounced dry-season green-up—
strongly regulates biogeochemical cycles of carbon and water fluxes. However …
