Open AccessConsistent patterns of common species across tropical tree communities
Trees structure the Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystem, tropical forests. The vast number of tree species presents a formidable challenge to understanding these forests, including their response to environmenta...

Open AccessMap** tropical forest functional variation at satellite remote sensing resolutions depends on key traits
Although tropical forests differ substantially in form and function, they are often represented as a single biome in global change models, hindering understanding of how different tropical forests will respond...

High aboveground carbon stock of African tropical montane forests
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 montan...

Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests
Structurally intact tropical forests sequestered about half of the global terrestrial carbon uptake over the 1990s and early 2000s, removing about 15 per cent of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions1–3. Climate...

Opportunities and challenges for an Indonesian forest monitoring network
Permanent sampling plots (PSPs) are a powerful and reliable methodology to help our understanding of the diversity and dynamics of tropical forests. Based on the current inventory of PSPs in In...

Open AccessAuthor Correction: Long-term carbon sink in Borneo’s forests halted by drought and vulnerable to edge effects
The original version of this Article contained an error in the third sentence of the abstract and incorrectly read “Here, using long-term plot monitoring records of up to half a century, we find that intact fo...

Open AccessLong-term carbon sink in Borneo’s forests halted by drought and vulnerable to edge effects
Less than half of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions remain in the atmosphere. While carbon balance models imply large carbon uptake in tropical forests, direct on-the-ground observations are still lacking...

Open AccessDiversity and carbon storage across the tropical forest biome
Tropical forests are global centres of biodiversity and carbon storage. Many tropical countries aspire to protect forest to fulfil biodiversity and climate mitigation policy targets, but the conservation strat...

Continuous force-displacement relationships for the human red blood cell at different erythrocytic developmental stages of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite
Prior work involving either aspiration of infected cells into micropipette under suction pressure or deformation in laminar shear flow revealed that the malaria parasite Plasmodium (P.) falciparum could result in...
