Are the dynamics of tropical forests dominated by large and rare disturbance events?

Jon Lloyd1, Emanuel U Gloor, Simon L Lewis.   

Abstract

A recent Ecology Letters paper of Fisher et al. (2008) utilized a modelling framework to investigate disturbance effects on forest biomass dynamics. But it contains serious methodological and conceptual errors. Associated conclusions are unlikely to be correct.
