Fragmentation increases wind disturbance impacts on forest structure and carbon stocks in a western Amazonian landscape

Tropical second‐growth forests could help mitigate climate change, but the degree to which their carbon potential is achieved will depend on exposure to disturbance. Wind disturbance is common in tropical forests, shaping structure, composition, and function, and influencing successional trajectorie...
