  2. Above-ground wood productivity Malhi et al (2004), The above-ground coarse wood productivity of 104 Neotropical forest plots, Global Change Biology

  3. The Carbon Allocation of Tropical Forests Autotrophic respiration Net primary production Photosynthesis 100% Leaf respiration Volatile production Leaf production Above-ground biomass production Wood respiration Below-ground biomass production Root respiration Fine-root production Dissolved organic matter
