Forest biomass, productivity and carbon cycling along a rainfall gradient in West Africa
A new research paper in the Global Change Biology journal has been published on forest biomass, productivity and carbon cycling along a rainfall gradient in West Africa, providing the first comprehensive analysis of Net Primary Productivity (NPP) and its carbon allocation to woody, canopy and root growth components at contrasting lowland West African forests spanning a rainfall gradient.
