abstract = "The recent widespread conversion of mature tropical forests to
agriculture and other land uses has resulted in a large reduction
in biotic carbon reserves and contributed to 30 of the annual
increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (Bueno and Helene, 1991).
Current estimates suggest that between 1.2 and 2.6 Pg of carbon is
transferred to the atmosphere annually through worldwide
conversion of tropical forests (Houghton et al., 1990; Brown et
al., 1993; Sampson et al., 1993; Dixon et al., 1994). These losses
of terrestrial carbon have, however, been partly offset by
sequestration of atmospheric carbon by regenerating forests (Brown
and Lugo, 1990).",
