abstract = "As one of Earths most carbon-dense regions, tropical forests are
central to climate change mitigation efforts. Their unparalleled
species richness also makes them vital for safeguarding
biodiversity. However, because research has not been conducted at
management-relevant scales and has often not accounted for forest
disturbance, the biodiversity implications of carbon conservation
strategies remain poorly understood. We investigated tropical
carbonbiodiversity relationships and trade-offs along a
forest-disturbance gradient, using detailed and extensive carbon
and biodiversity datasets. Biodiversity was positively associated
with carbon in secondary and highly disturbed primary forests.
Positive carbonbiodiversity relationships dissipated at around
100\ MgC\ ha1, meaning that in less disturbed
forests more carbon did not equal more biodiversity. Simulated
carbon conservation schemes therefore failed to protect many
species in the most species-rich forests. These biodiversity
shortfalls were sensitive to opportunity costs and could be
decreased for small carbon penalties. To ensure that the most
ecologically valuable forests are protected, biodiversity needs to
be incorporated into carbon conservation planning.",
