Forest biomass density across large climate gradients in northern South America is related to water availability but not with temperature.

Forest biomass density across large climate gradients in northern South America is related to water availability but not with temperature.

Understanding and predicting the likely response of ecosystems to climate change are crucial challenges for ecology and for conservation biology. Nowhere is this challenge greater than in the tropics as these forests store more than half the total atmospheric carbon stock in their biomass. Biomass i...
