  • Inventory data from more than 1 million trees across African, Amazonian and Southeast Asian tropical forests suggests that, despite their high diversity, just 1,053 species, representing a consistent ~2.2% of tropical tree species in each region, constitute half of Earth’s 800 billion tropical trees.

  • The aboveground carbon stock of a montane African forest network is comparable to that of a lowland African forest network and two-thirds higher than default values for these montane forests.

  • This study reports data from a network of long-term monitoring plots across African tropical forests, which finds that above-ground carbon storage in live trees increased by 0.63 Mg C ha−1 yr−1 between 1968 and 2007. The data is extrapolated to unmeasured forest components, and by scaling to the continent, a total increase in carbon storage in African tropical forest trees of 0.34 Pg C yr−1 is estimated. These results provide evidence that increasing carbon storage in old-growth forests is a pan-tropical phenomenon.

  • Analysis of changes in functional groups of species and potential drivers of environmental change for protected areas across the world’s major tropical regions reveals large variation between reserves that have been effective and those experiencing an erosion of biodiversity, and shows that environmental changes immediately outside reserves are nearly as important as those inside in determining their ecological fate.
