Note: The number of citations for Nepstad et al. (1999) in GS (290) is greater than ISI
WS (267). Web of Science doesn’t include all journals. GS may easily confuse
author w/ others of similar last name, include non peer-reviewed works, etc. Click on
the link to see the actual references. WS is a more conservative estimate, GS more
liberal estimate. In your critique remember to report the source of the # of citations.
