Key findings: tropical forests invest ~60% more carbon in reproduction than boreal forests, and, surprisingly, old forests allocate far more to reproduction than young ones.

The first chapter of my dissertation is out in Ecology Letters! We pooled data from forest sites across the globe to understand how forests differ in their carbon investment in reproduction (flowers, fruits, seeds). #ForestEcology #GlobalEcology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
