DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03728-4
Abstract: Tropical forests store 40-50 per cent of terrestrial vegetation carbon1. However, spatial variations in aboveground live tree biomass carbon (AGC) stocks remain poorly understood, in particular in tropical montane forests2. Owing to climatic and soil changes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aje.12719
Abstract: Tropical montane forests can store and sequester substantial amounts of carbon in above-ground biomass (AGB), but variations in this storage related to location or degradation have not been quantified in the Cameroon Highlands. We established… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12338
Abstract: Montane forests represent the majority of natural forests remaining in Europe. Their quality can be indicated by the occurrence of saproxylic invertebrates. Information on the habitat requirements of threatened species inhabiting such forests is a… read more here.
