  abstract = {{T}he carbon sink capacity of tropical forests is substantially affected by tree mortality. {H}owever, the main drivers of tropical tree death remain largely unknown. {H}ere we present a pan-{A}mazonian assessment of how and why trees die, analysing over 120,000 trees representing>3800 species from 189 long-term {RAINFOR} forest plots. {W}hile tree mortality rates vary greatly {A}mazon-wide, on average trees are as likely to die standing as they are broken or uprooted-modes of death with different ecological consequences. {S}pecies-level growth rate is the single most important predictor of tree death in {A}mazonia, with faster-growing species being at higher risk. {W}ithin species, however, the slowest-growing trees are at greatest risk while the effect of tree size varies across the basin. {I}n the driest {A}mazonian region species-level bioclimatic distributional patterns also predict the risk of death, suggesting that these forests are experiencing climatic conditions beyond their adaptative limits. {T}hese results provide not only a holistic pan-{A}mazonian picture of tree death but large-scale evidence for the overarching importance of the growth-survival trade-off in driving tropical tree mortality. {T}ree mortality has been shown to be the dominant control on carbon storage in {A}mazon forests, but little is known of how and why {A}mazon forest trees die. {H}ere the authors analyse a large {A}mazon-wide dataset, finding that fast-growing species face greater mortality risk, but that slower-growing individuals within a species are more likely to die, regardless of size.},
