Woody species diversity in forest plantations in a mountainous region of Beijing, China: effects of sampling scale and species selection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The role of forest plantations in biodiversity conservation has gained more attention in recent years. However, most work on evaluating the diversity of forest plantations focuses only on one spatial scale; thus, we examined the effects of sampling scale

Forests and Decarbonization – Roles of Natural and Planted Forests [PDF]

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
The severe consequences of human disruptions to the global carbon cycle have prompted intense interest in strategies to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Because growing forests capture CO2 in their biomass and soils, large-scale tree planting efforts have been advertised as a viable way to counteract anthropogenic emissions as part of net-zero ...
