The uncertainty of our understanding of the spatial variation in tropical forest biomass is still very high, due to lack of information on the effect of disturbances on carbon dynamics. Results: The spatial variation of aboveground living biomass (AGLB) in the tropical lowland forests of Mexico was high and show links with recorded human and natural disturbances. Areas with high biomass are limited to southeast Yucatan and east Chiapas. In plots with fire, land-use change and grazing, AGLB was approximately 20% lower than in undisturbed plots. Plots with forest management had higher AGLB. Conclusion: The high biomass outlier plots are an indication of the stock enhancement potential of the forests. The inventory design could be improved by collecting more quantitative information on disturbance intensity and history.
