Can we reduce carbon dioxide emissions by simply allowing forests to recover?
Septiembre 13, 2024
Regrowing tropical forests emit significantly lower soil carbon dioxide than cattle pastures.

For good measure
A global standard for forest carbon storage requires ground-based measurements
Octubre 04, 2024
To create a global standard for forest carbon storage, we need boots on the ground. The GEO-TREES system of forest plots offers this immediately: establishing a single method for forest carbon estimation at existing on-the-ground forest study sites around the world.
Generous Grant
Smithsonian Receives $12 Million from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation for forest carbon verification with GEO-TREES
Octubre 10, 2024
Grant Supports the Smithsonian’s Leadership Role in Bringing the Global GEO-TREES System Online
Happy New Year
Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2025!
Diciembre 31, 2024
Last year we celebrated 100 years of tropical biology research, a testament to the teamwork and commitment of the STRI team to science across national boundaries. This year will bring new challenges, but our dedication to the study of tropical forests and reefs will not waver.
Queen of the forest
Unlocking forest biodiversity: What can Virola nobilis trees teach us about tropical ecology?
Junio 10, 2024
Virola trees in Panama are defying a well-known hypothesis from the 1970s regarding tropical biodiversity, revealing how genetics and the environment shape pathogen communities and seedling survival in tropical forests
Nature’s resilience
Where decay breathes life
Marzo 11, 2025
From sonic tomographies to global biodiversity negotiations, this journey through research, resilience, and connection reveals how even the smallest organisms can shape entire ecosystems and inspire lasting change.
Seeds for a future
A course to learn about the biodiversity of our forests
Marzo 19, 2025
Through a course in dendrology, the study of the taxonomy of woody plants in the absence of flowers or fruits, two experts in forest diversity seek to leave a legacy of knowledge for future generations.
Linking the ground, air and space
Why is NASA studying tropical ecosystems?
Abril 21, 2025
A NASA plane came to Panama to acquire aerial images to inform scientists about the diversity of tropical ecosystems. At the same time, researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama collected similar data from the ground. The goal: to create an algorithm to better understand tropical ecosystems using satellite remote sensing in the future.
The forest breathes
Above the tropical forest canopy, sensors capture the fluxes of gases between the trees and the atmosphere
Junio 13, 2025
The air moving above the forest carries valuable information about how trees absorb carbon, and what may happen in the future as global temperatures rise.
Scientist
Martijn Slot
In my lab we try to understand how climate change affects tropical forests by studying how environmental factors influence the physiology and ecology of tropical trees and lianas. We are interested in identifying threshold temperatures for various aspects of plant performance, including carbon...
