Individual-based modeling of amazon forests suggests that climate controls prod...
Fauset, Sophie; Gloor, Manuel U.; Fyllas, Nikolaos M.; Phillips, Oliver L.; Asner, Gregory P.; Baker, Timothy R.; Patrick Bentley, LisaClimate, species composition, and soils are thought to control carbon cycling and forest structure in Amazonian forests. Here, we add a demographics scheme (tree recruitment, growth, and mortality) to a recently developed non-demographic model—the Trait-based Forest Simulator (TFS)—to explore the roles of climate and plant traits in controlling forest productivity and structure. We compared two sites with diffe...
