“…For species richness, some authors have shown that tropical lowlands with high and evenly distributed rainfall present high species richness (Gentry 1992), which is the case in the northern and eastern lowlands of Costa Rica. The same contrast between lowlands and mountains is not observed for carbon storage in vegetation: it is high in wet or moist lowland forests, medium in the mountain forests, and low in dry lowland forests of the country, as confirmed by other studies in the tropics (Fehse et al 2002;Raich et al 2006;Keith et al 2009). …”

“…The absolute highest previous reports of mycorrhizal fungi were in South America where Barnola and Montilla (1997) found AM fungi at 3800 m in the Sierra de la Culata, Venezuela, and Fehse et al (2002) found mycorrhizal Polylepis trees in Ecuador at elevations of up to 3600 m.…”

“…6). Estimating V cmax accurately is important when modeling GPP (Kattge et al 2009), and even though TMCFs only cover up to 11% of tropical forests worldwide (Doumenge et al 1995), the interest in the C cycle of TMCFs with regard to carbon sequestration and storage practices has increased substantially in recent years (e.g., Fehse et al 2002;Martínez et al 2009;Zimmermann et al 2010;Gibbon et al 2010). The results reported here could therefore be used to improve the accuracy in estimates of TMCF C uptake.…”
