Tropical forests have played an important role as a carbon sink over time. However, the carbon dynamics of Brazilian non-Amazon tropical forests are still not well understood. Here, we used data from 32 tropical seasonal forest sites, monitored from 1987 to 2020 (mean site monitoring length, ~15 years) to investigate their long-term trends in carbon stocks and sinks.

- The study was conducted in a protected semideciduous Atlantic Forest in Minas Gerais, Brazil, monitoring tree community diversity and structure over several years.
- Two stands were monitored, revealing that larger trees (over 20 cm in diameter) were key for biomass accumulation, indicating an advanced successional stage in the forest.
- The results highlighted significant differences in structure, diversity, and species richness between the two surveyed stands over time.
