Less than half of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions remain in the atmosphere. While carbon balance models imply large carbon uptake in tropical forests, direct on-the-ground observations are still lacking in Southeast Asia. Here, using long-term plot monitoring records of up to half a century, we find that intact forests in Borneo gained 0.43 Mg C ha<sup>-1</sup> per year (95% CI 0.14-0.72, mean period 1988-2010) above-ground live biomass. These results closely match those from African and ...[more]
