abstract = "The net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide was measured by eddy
covariance methods for 3 years in two old-growth forest sites near
Santare´m, Brazil. Carbon was lost in the wet season and gained in
the dry season, which was opposite to the seasonal cycles of both
tree growth and model predictions. The 3-year average carbon loss
was 1.3 (confidence interval: 0.0 to 2.0) megagrams of carbon per
hectare per year. Biometric observations confirmed the net loss
but imply that it is a transient effect of recent disturbance
superimposed on long-term balance. Given that episodic
disturbances are characteristic of oldgrowth forests, it is likely
that carbon sequestration is lower than has been inferred from
recent eddy covariance studies at undisturbed sites.",
