Carbon flux and forest dynamics : increased deadwood decomposition in tropical rainforest tree-fall canopy gaps

Tree mortality rates are increasing within tropical rainforests as a result of global environmental change. When trees die, gaps are created in forest canopies and carbon is transferred from the living to deadwood pools. However, little is known about the effect of tree-fall canopy gaps on the activ...
