Greater soil carbon losses from secondary than old-growth tropical forests
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Tropical forests play a crucial role in mediating the global carbon cycle and climate. Southeast Asian tropical forests are experiencing ongoing threats of deforestation and degradation.

Late-successional and old-growth forests in the northeastern United States: Structure, dynamics, and prospects for restoration. [PDF]
, 2013 Restoration of old-growth forest structure is an emerging silvicultural goal, especially in those regions where old-growth abundance falls below the historic range of variability.

Increasing dominance of large lianas in Amazonian forests [PDF]
, 2002 Ecological orthodoxy suggests that old-growth forests should be close to dynamic equilibrium, but this view has been challenged by recent findings that neotropical forests are accumulating carbon and biomass, possibly in response to the increasing ...

Similar biodiversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in set-aside plantations and ancient old-growth broadleaved forests [PDF]
, 2015 Setting aside overmature planted forests is currently seen as an option for preserving species associated with old-growth forests, such as those with dispersal limitation. Few data exist, however, on the utility of set-aside plantations for this purpose,

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Soil C:N:P stoichiometry can regulate plant survival and reflect soil fertility and nutrient utilization. Despite the widespread conversion of old-growth forests to plantations or secondary forests, there is little knowledge about how these conversions ...

Fonte Novello old-growth forest
L'Italia Forestale e Montana, 2010 The study has been carried-out to compare the genetic diversity between old growth beech forest and post-harvested naturally regenerated stands. The purpose was also the evaluation of the possible genetic impact of harvesting systems; these information are needed for the development sustainable silvicultural methods.

Increasing biomass in Amazonian forest plots [PDF]
, 2004 A previous study by Phillips et al. of changes in the biomass of permanent sample plots in Amazonian forests was used to infer the presence of a regional carbon sink.

Tropical forest restoration: Fast resilience of plant biomass contrasts with slow recovery of stable soil C stocks [PDF]
, 2017 Due to intensifying human disturbance, over half of the world's tropical forests are reforested or afforested secondary forests or plantations. Understanding the resilience of carbon (C) stocks in these forests, and estimating the extent to which they ...

Dynamic old-growth forests? A case study of boreal black spruce forest bryophytes
Silva Fennica, 2011 Old-growth forests have sparked significant interest over the last twenty years and definitions have evolved from structure based to process based, acknowledging the diversity of forests that could be considered old growth.
