Stand structural diversity rather than species diversity enhances aboveground carbon storage in secondary subtropical forests in Eastern China
Stand structural diversity, typically characterized by variances in tree diameter at breast height (DBH) and total height, plays a critical role in influencing aboveground carbon (C) storage. However, few studies have considered the multivariate relationships of aboveground C storage with stand age,...
