Droughts, Wildfires, and Forest Carbon Cycling: A Pantropical Synthesis

Tropical woody plants store ∼230 petagrams of carbon (PgC) in their aboveground living biomass. This review suggests that these stocks are currently growing in primary forests at rates that have decreased in recent decades. Droughts are an important...
