Within one equivalent-order between one and two trees per hectare per decade in Amazonia, the quantity of large trees at the stand level increased at the rate of 6.6% per decade. The original article was published with @springernature.com in @natplants.nature.com. Read more via rdcu.be/eLTks.
Increasing tree size across Amazonia
Nature Plants - A global research network monitoring the Amazon for 30 years reports in this study that tree size increased by 3% each decade.

Remarkably, when the basal area — a type of horizontal spatial area occupied on the forest floor — was investigated regarding the relative annual trend, the large-trees basal area increased twice as much per decade compared with the smaller ones.

The west-to-east gradient in #Amazonia of increasing wood density was evident. Forests in East-Central Amazon and the Guiana Shield had the highest wood density on average, followed by the Brazilian Shield, with the lowest #WoodDensity in western areas within Amazon.

A recent surge in global warming is not detectable yet - Communications Earth & Environment
Despite 2023’s record temperatures, there is no significant warming surge beyond the 1970s, and an increase of at least 55% across all datasets is required for a detectable warming surge at the presen...
