Tropical forests cycle more carbon and water than any other ecosystem, and they play critical roles in determining Earth’s energy balance. Additionally, intact tropical forests are estimated to be Earth’s largest carbon sink, yet the processes controlling tropical forest carbon cycling are not well established. Understanding of carbon and related water and energy exchanges between tropical forests and the atmosphere lags that of other ecosystems, and poor model representation of these processes is the most significant source of terrestrial uncertainty in climate projections. To address these challenges, the Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) program within the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) is supporting a next-generation ecosystem experiments project in the tropics (NGEE–Tropics).
