Figure 3From: Total carbon accumulation in a tropical forest landscapeTotal carbon stocks ( TCS , top) and net ecosystem carbon balance ( NECB , bottom) with successional age. Open circles in top panel represent measurements obtained in this study, filled circles represent independent data reported by [21] for an Amazon tropical forest, and squares independent data from a lowland forest in Costa Rica [22]. Lines represent predictions by the fitted model (equation 1).Back to article page
