🪵 Diameter drives short-term biomass gains, but long-term carbon storage hinges on wood density, especially in humid forests. To improve accuracy, biomass models should account for radial wood density variation and climate ☁️ 🔎 Find out more: buff.ly/kZFoh9B

#Tree stems accumulate biomass by adding volume of certain density. Which factor is more important? Using tropical #treering data we found: diameter increment explains biomass growth at short term; wood density at long term.🌎🌐🍁 #dendrochronology besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The seasonality of the Amazon water cycle is intensifying. -> Bruno Cintra and colleagues use decades of oxygen isotopes in tree rings to show how the dry season has got drier, and the wet season wetter. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

New paper on tropical #timber #tracing! We tested the use of wood oxygen stable isotopes (δ18O ) for tracing. We produced #isoscapes for 5 major tropical timbers. These isoscapes alone had limited utility. Combinations with other techniques may help. #timtrace www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New in @sciencemagazine, a review on Scaling plant responses to heat (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). Increased temperature along with acute heat waves threaten the ability of terrestrial vegetation to act as a carbon sink, but predicting how plants will respond to heat is challenging.
