Tropical forest carbon balance: effects of field- and satellite-based mortality regimes on the dynamics and the spatial structure of Central Amazon forest biomass
Debate continues over the adequacy of existing field plots to sufficiently capture Amazon forest dynamics to estimate regional forest carbon balance.Tree mortality dynamics fleshlight automatique are particularly uncertain due to the difficulty of observing large, infrequent disturbances.A recent paper (Chambers et al 2013 Proc.Natl Acad.Sci.110 3
