Aim To develop and test a simple climate‐based ecophysiological model of above‐ground biomass – an approach that can be applied directly to predicting the effects of climate change on forest carbon stores.
Location Humid lowland forests world‐wide.
Methods We developed a new approach to modelling the aboveground biomass of old‐growth forest (AGBmax) based on the influences of temperature on gross...
1. Current thinking holds that wood density mediates a tradeoff between strength and economy of construction, with higher wood density providing higher strength but at higher cost.
2. Yet the further away wood fibres are from the central axis of the trunk, the more they increase the strength of the trunk; thus, a fat trunk of low‐density wood can achieve greater strength at lower construction cost...
