Does the disturbance hypothesis explain the biomass increase in basin-wide Amazon forest plot data?

Abstract Positive aboveground biomass trends have been reported from old-growth forests across the Amazon basin and hypothesized to reflect a large-scale response to exterior forcing. The result could, however, be an artefact due to a sampling bias induced by the nature of forest growth dynamics. He...
