A husband-wife ecologist team of David and Deborah Clark's 20-year study of tropical rainforests yielded a wealth of insights that suggests that global warming could be worse than expected.In a paper published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Clarks and atmospheric scientists Charles D. Keeling and Stephen Piper of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, report that in hot years, the trees at La Selva grow less and the world's tropics emit lots of carbon dioxide. The Clarks were absolutely essential to making La Selva one of the world's top tropical forest research and education sites, says botanist Donald Stone, a longtime OTS director and professor emeritus at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The Clarks focused their research on the demographics of La Selva's more than 300 tree species, only three of which had been studied in detail.
