Abstract

Summary Tree mortality rates appear to be increasing in moist tropical forests ( MTF s) with significant carbon cycle consequences. Here, we review the state of knowledge regarding MTF tree mortality, create a conceptual framework with testable hypotheses regarding the drivers, mechanisms and intera...
