Sixty‐year post‐windthrow study of stand dynamics in two natural forests differing in pre‐disturbance composition

Abstract We examined the dynamics of stand structure and composition over 60 years in two natural secondary forest plots in central Hokkaido, Japan, that had been severely disturbed by a stand‐replacing windthrow in 1954. We determined temporal trends in tree density, species richness, species diver...
