Summary from the news article: “A group of trees that grow fast, live long lives and reproduce slowly account for the bulk of the biomass — and carbon storage — in some tropical rainforests, a team of scientists says. The finding that these trees, called long-lived pioneers, play a much larger role in carbon storage than previously thought may have implications in efforts to preserve forests as a strategy to fight climate change.”
