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 …

Big‐sized trees overrule remaining trees' attributes and species richness as determinants of aboveground biomass in tropical forests
Abstract Large‐diameter, tall‐stature, and big‐crown trees are the main stand structures of
forests, generally contributing a large fraction of aboveground biomass, and hence play an …
