Abstract:
Lloyd et al. (2009) question the methods, concepts and conclusions of Fisher et al.
(2008). We address these assertions, and place our work into a broader context. We
demonstrate the veracity of Fisher et al., and further show that lack of data for
intermediate-scale tree mortality disturbance events for old-growth tropical forests might
prevent robust extrapolation of forest plot biomass accumulation data, and accurate
estimates of distribution parameters such as power-law exponents (a).
