DESCRIPTION:Forest ecosystems sequester and store 2.4 Pg of carbon from th
 e atmosphere each year\, making them an essential component of the terrest
 rial carbon cycle. In this context\, understanding what factors contribute
  to shaping carbon dynamics in forest ecosystems is key to mitigating clim
 ate change and forecasting how forests will function in a warmer world. I 
 argue that the vertical and horizontal structure of forest canopies is a k
 ey – although often overlooked – component of the puzzle. Using three 
 case studies as examples\, I illustrate how accounting for the processes w
 hich give rise to canopy structure can help us better understand forest ca
 rbon cycling\, and discuss how emerging remote sensing technologies can al
 low us access to forest canopies.
