| Abstract |
Tropical forests represent one of the planet's most active biogeochemical engines. Although only 15 % of the planet's terrestrial surface is comprised of tropical forests, they account for over 2/3 of live terrestrial plant biomass (Pan et al., 2013), nearly 1/3 of all soil carbon (C) (Jobbagy & Jackson, 2000, Tarnocai et al., 2009), and exchange more carbon dioxide (CO2) with the atmosphere than any other biome (Beer et al., 2010, Foley et al., 2003).

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 May 2015.
All research outputs
#4,517,894
of 25,240,298 outputs
Outputs from Global Change Biology
#4,071
of 6,304 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#51,134
of 265,246 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Global Change Biology
#52
of 82 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,240,298 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,304 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 35.7. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 265,246 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 82 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
