Background:Forests are an important sink for atmospheric carbon and could release that carbon upon deforestation and degradation.Knowing stand biomass dynamic of evergreen forests has become necessary to improve curre...
We express our appreciation to the 2018 forestry graduate students’team for their great help in data collection.We also gratefully acknowledge the Provincial Natural Resources Bureau for providing us with their archive of journey reports and grazing license contracts.Finally,we appreciate the anonymous reviewers who carefully read the manuscript and made many insightful comments.
The present study examines the extent of negative eff ects of traditional multiple land-use systems on oak coppices,from a forest management point of view.The study area was located in approximately 10,000 ha of hilly...

The total biomass of a stand is an indicator of stand productivity and is closely related to the density of plants. According to the self-thinning law, mean individual biomass follows a negative power law with plant d...

We calculated a self-thinning exponent of 1.05 for tree mass using the 3/2 power equation in 93 Cunninghamia lanceolata plots.According to Weller’s allometric model,the self-thinning exponent for tree mass was calcul...
Background:Among the most important aspects of risk and hazard studies relating to forest ecosystems are maximum forest density and density-dependent tree survival.Methods:Long-term observations about the maximum de...
