The remaining 2 million hectares of forest are protected by national park status. The tropical rain forest is one of the world’s most complex forest ecosystems. Aboveground biomass can reach more than 400 tons · ha−1, with a complex multilayer forest structure. Alpha tree diversity ranges from 200 to 300 species · ha−1 along with high beta tree diversity. Forest dynamics are mostly controlled by small (300 m2 mean area) treefall gaps, and approximately 1% of the forest area is affected by treefall each year (Riera et al.
