Figure 1.

Total forest carbon pools and fluxes (left panel) and liana contributions (right panel). The table shows simulated (Sim) and observed (Obs) values for Paracou and the corresponding references (Ref). The sketch shows simulated liana contributions, with observed liana contributions in parentheses. B, biomass; GPP, gross primary productivity; NEE, net ecosystem exchange (negative values mean carbon uptake); NPP, net primary productivity; R, respiration.
