Edge effects on tree architecture exacerbate biomass loss of fragmented Amazonian forests

Abstract Habitat fragmentation could potentially affect tree architecture and allometry. Here, we use ground surveys of terrestrial LiDAR in Central Amazonia to explore the influence of forest edge effects on tree architecture and allometry, as well as forest biomass, 40 years after fragmentation. W...
