Putz","doi":"10.1111/1365-2435.70086","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.70086","url":null,"abstract":"<p>A study conducted by Yatsko et al. (<span>2025</span>) explores a critical and often overlooked component of carbon accounting in savannas and forests, the concealed losses of wood inside trees due to consumption by termites, fungi and other xylophagous organisms. The authors point out that disregard of this lost biomass would inflate carbon stock estimates in the savannas they studied in North Queensland, Australia. Given the substantial but under-studied carbon stored in savannas (e.g. Zhou et al., <span>2022</span>), their findings have global implications. Of even more fundamental importance is their report that the vertical extent of heartrots and hollows in the lower portions of tree boles of the species they studied was predictable from a core sample at a single height.</p><p>In their study of three species of Myrtaceae (<i>Eucalyptus cullenii</i>, <i>Melaleuca stenostachya</i> and <i>Corymbia clarksoniana</i>), Yatsko et al. (<span>2025</span>) found that while the absolute amount of internal wood loss in the 45 trees they sampled was highest near tree bases and declined with height, proportional losses remained constant. This finding meant that they could predict the amount of wood lost up to 180 cm up a trunk from a single sample at 50 cm. If this pattern holds true for other species in other ecosystems, the costs and difficulties of assessing wood losses from tree cores will be much reduced. Their finding that the hollows never exceeded 40% of their cross sections suggests that the biomass losses did not compromise the trees biomechanically (e.g. Mattheck et al., <span>1994</span>). How those biomass losses vary with sapwood width remains to be explored.</p><p>Reports from elsewhere in the tropics that termites hollow out urban (Zorzenon & Campos, <span>2015</span>) and forest trees (Eleuterio et al., <span>2020</span>) indicate that the results of the Yatsko et al. (<span>2025</span>) apply to ecosystems beyond savannas. The need for attention to this phenomenon is enhanced by the rapid expansion throughout tropical South America of an introduced species of tree piping <i>Coptotermes</i> to which the expanding plantations of <i>Eucalyptus</i>, <i>Corymbia</i> and <i>Pinus</i> are susceptible (Constantino, <span>2002</span>).</p><p>Yatsko et al. (<span>2025</span>) contribute to the extensive forestry and arboriculture literatures focused on predicting the distributions and extents of heartrots and hollows in tree stems (e.g. Kennard et al., <span>1996</span>; Koeser et al., <span>2020</span>; Li et al., <span>2022</span>; Zorzenon & Campos, <span>2015</span>) with their finding that trees with external signs of termite activity suffered more extensive internal damage. That they found no correlation between fire damage and hollowness is intriguing insofar as it conflicts with other reports in the literature (e.g. Gordon et al., <span>2023</span>).
