Abstract

The article offers information on Persistent collapse of biomass in Amazonian forest edges following deforestation leads to unaccounted carbon losses. It mentions the magnitude of carbon losses at these forest edges is still poorly quantified at large scales due to the scarcity of quantitative datasets for tropical forests, Efforts to accurately incorporate this source to regional and global carbon budgets.
