Javier G P Gamarra @javiergpgamarra.bsky.social · 03/09/2026🌳 Why can tropical forests with similar carbon stocks respond differently to climate? Our new Scientific Reports study shows that climate shapes forest structure differently across tropical regions—potentially hiding its effects on carbon when we look at biomass alone. 📄 lnkd.in/euvyTEwU 010
