Tropical forests store and sequester high amounts of carbon and are the most diverse terrestrial ecosystem. A complete understanding of the relationship between biodiversity and carbon storage and sequestration across spatiotemporal scales relevant for climate change mitigation needs three approaches: empirical, remote sensing and ecosystem modelling. We review individual approaches and show that biodiversity has short-term and long-term benefits across spatial scales. We argue that enhanced understanding is obtained by combining approaches and, especially, integrating approaches through using ‘boundary objects’ that can be understood and measured by all approaches, such as diversity of leaf traits of the upper canopy. This will lead to better understanding of biodiversity effects on climate change mitigation, which is crucial for making sound policy decisions.

经验,遥感和建模方法的集成增强了对生物多样性在热带森林缓解气候变化中的作用的认识

热带森林存储和隔离大量的碳,是最多样化的陆地生态系统。全面了解与缓解气候变化有关的时空范围内生物多样性与碳储存和封存之间的关系需要三种方法:经验,遥感和生态系统建模。我们回顾了各个方法,并证明了生物多样性在空间尺度上具有短期和长期利益。我们认为,通过组合方法,尤其是通过使用可以由所有方法(例如上层冠层的叶片性状的多样性)理解和测量的“边界对象”来集成方法,可以增强理解。这将使人们更好地了解生物多样性对减缓气候变化的影响,
