The Driving Factors of Subtropical Mature Forest Productivity: Stand Structure Matters

The Driving Factors of Subtropical Mature Forest Productivity: Stand Structure Matters

Forest productivity (increment of above-ground biomass) is determined by biodiversity but also by stand structure attributes. However, the relative strengths of these drivers in determining productivity remain controversial in subtropical forests. In this study, we analyzed a tree growth data from 5...
