Internal respiration of Amazon tree stems greatly exceeds external CO<sub>2</sub> efflux

Internal respiration of Amazon tree stems greatly exceeds external CO<sub>2</sub> efflux

Respiration in tree stems is an important component of forest carbon balance. The rate of CO<sub>2</sub> efflux from the stem has often been assumed to be a measure of stem respiration. However, recent work in temperate forests has demonstrated that stem CO<sub>2</sub> efflux...
