Slow growth rates of Amazonian trees: Consequences for carbon cycling
Vieira, Simone Aparecida; Trumbore, Susan Elizabeth; Camargo, Plínio Barbosa de; Selhorst, Diogo; Chambers, Jeffrey Quintin; Higuchi, NiroQuantifying age structure and tree growth rate of Amazonian forests is essential for understanding their role in the carbon cycle. Here, we use radiocarbon dating and direct measurement of diameter increment to document unexpectedly slow growth rates for trees from three locations spanning the Brazilian Amazon basin. Central Amazon trees, averaging only ≈1 mm/year diameter increment, grow half as fast as those ...
Climate seasonality limits leaf carbon assimilation and wood productivity in tr...
Wagner, Fabien H.; Hérault, Bruno; Bonal, Damien; Stahl, Clément; Anderson, Liana Oighenstein; Baker, Timothy R.; Sebastian Becker, GabrielThe seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique combination of seasonal pan-tropical data sets from 89 experimental sites (68 include aboveground wood productivity measurements and 35 litter productivity measurements), their associated canopy p...
