Spatial database of planted forests in East Asia [PDF]

Scientific Data, 2023
Planted forests are critical to climate change mitigation and constitute a major supplier of timber/non-timber products and other ecosystem services. Globally, approximately 36% of planted forest area is located in East Asia. However, reliable records of

Leaf nutrient traits of planted forests demonstrate a heightened sensitivity to environmental changes compared to natural forests [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Leaf nutrient content (nitrogen, phosphorus) and their stoichiometric ratio (N/P) as key functional traits can reflect plant survival strategies and predict ecosystem productivity responses to environmental changes.

Eddy covariance-based differences in net ecosystem productivity values and spatial patterns between naturally regenerating forests and planted forests in China. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2022
Net ecosystem productivity (NEP), the difference between gross primary productivity (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER), is the basis of forest carbon sinks.

For the sake of resilience and multifunctionality, let's diversify planted forests!

Conservation Letters, 2022
As of 2020, the world has an estimated 290 million ha of planted forests and this number is continuously increasing. Of these, 131 million ha are monospecific planted forests under intensive management. Although monospecific planted forests are important

China’s naturally regenerated forests currently have greater aboveground carbon accumulation rates than newly planted forests

Communications Earth & Environment
China has restored extensive forest areas through afforestation and natural regeneration, contributing to climate change mitigation. However, the restoration patterns and the mechanisms driving aboveground carbon accumulation in these forests remain ...

Significant Differences in the Effects of Pine Wilt Disease Invasion on Plant Diversity in Natural and Planted Forests [PDF]

Insects
Plants, as producers in ecosystems, are an integral part of biodiversity in terms of their species diversity. Plant diversity not only enhances the quality of ecosystem services, but also provides habitat for a wide range of plants and animals.

Synergies and trade-offs in forest carbon pools: separating universal drivers from forest type-specific controls [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionUnderstanding the synergies and trade-offs among tree, understory, and soil carbon pools is critical for optimizing forest carbon sinks. However, the mechanisms regulating these relationships, particularly how they differ between natural and ...

Lifting the profile of deep soil carbon in New Zealand’s managed planted forests [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management
Background Forest soils are a globally significant carbon-store, including in deep layers (> 30 cm depth). However, there is high uncertainty regarding the response of deep soil organic carbon (DSOC) to climate change and the resulting impact on the ...
