Large-scale patterns of turnover and Basal area change in Andean forests.

Large-scale patterns of turnover and Basal area change in Andean forests.

General patterns of forest dynamics and productivity in the Andes Mountains are poorly characterized. Here we present the first large-scale study of Andean forest dynamics using a set of 63 permanent forest plots assembled over the past two decades.
