Carbon recovery dynamics following disturbance by selective logging in Amazonian forests.

Carbon recovery dynamics following disturbance by selective logging in Amazonian forests.

When 2 Mha of Amazonian forests are disturbed by selective logging each year, more than 90 Tg of carbon (C) is emitted to the atmosphere. Emissions are then counterbalanced by forest regrowth. With an original modelling approach, calibrated on a network of 133 permanent forest plots (175 ha total) across Amazonia, we link regional differences in climate, soil and initial biomass with survivors' and recruits' C fluxes to provide Amazon wide predictions of post-logging C recovery.
