Carbon stocks and biodiversity diverge between seasonally flooded and semi-evergreen tropical forests in the Yucatan Peninsula: implications for conservation in a threatened dry landscape
Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) host ecologically distinct vegetation types, with differences in forest structure, taxonomic diversity, and aboveground carbon stocks that remain insufficiently quantified. We compared a semi-evergreen tropical forest (SETF) and a seasonally flooded lowland forest (SFLF) in the...
