Tropical and subtropical ecosystems are believed to account for nearly 70% of all the carbon (C) sequestered by Earth’s forests1. However, estimates of tropical C uptake are largely based on studies of lowland ecosystems2,3,4. Limited climatic variation in lowland tropical forests4hampers our ...

critical for the development of a general understanding of the relationships between P availability, ecosystem productivity, and plant adaptation (or strategy), and for efforts to predict the response of tropical forests to future environmental change. There is some evidence for size-dependent changes ...
be applied to account for the small obscured trees that were invisible from the air (Dalponte and Coomes 2016). However, no advantage of individual-based modeling was found in a study of Malaysian tropical forests (Coomes et al. 2017). The potential advantages of tree-based mapping include t...
Data on the extent of different forest types provide the basis for monitoring the status of the world’s forests, as well as analyzing the effects of markets and government on those forests. Estimates of the total area of the world’s forests depend on h
For more than 50 years, WWF’s mission has been to create a future in which people live in harmony with nature. Central to that mission is our work to protect and conserve vital and magnificent forests around the world to sustain nature's diversity, benefit our climate, and support human ...
Water availability raises more tangible concerns for most people than do temperature and carbon. In any case, those concerned with temperature recognise 1) that around half the solar energy that falls on land is converted into the evaporation of water thus cooling the land surface (Pokorny et al...

FOCUS | editoRial FOCUS | editorial Forests in focus In light of the urgent need to mitigate climate change, many governments and companies are looking to the natural world for help, most notably through plans to plant forests to remove carbon from the atmosphere. However, the carbon — and ...
The risks of this practice are mostly related to plant-plant interactions, and particularly, to the potential competition for resources with the target trees. As such, this practice should be implemented cautiously, to prevent adverse impacts on the forest system. Also, attention should be paid ...
