Abstract

Ecology Letters (2011) 14 : 939–947 Abstract Tropical rain forests play a dominant role in global biosphere‐atmosphere CO 2 exchange. Although climate and nutrient availability regulate net primary production (NPP) and decomposition in all terrestrial ecosystems, the nature and extent of such contro...
