Understanding the vulnerability of the tropical carbon sink requires unraveling heterogeneous tropical forest responses to change
TROPICAL FORESTS UNDER A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT IV ORAL
biogeosciences | 11 december 2024
Elsa Ordway, Isaac Aguilar, Anabelle Cardoso, K. D...
The tropical carbon balance, heretofore mainly a sink, is now often reversing to become a source of carbon to the atmosphere in response to extreme ev...

TROPICAL FORESTS UNDER A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT II POSTER
biogeosciences | 11 december 2024
Sarah Worden, Sassan S. Saatchi
Tropical carbon and water fluxes are often assumed to be tightly coupled as plants exchange water for carbon via stomata. However, long-term, observat...
