Description

Age-related reductions in stand biomass accumulation are frequently observed in old-growth forests. The phenomenon may be caused by reduced production, increased mortality or both. The relative importance of production and mortality is not well studied, so the mechanisms controlling age-related decline of stand biomass accumulation remain unclear. In this study, conducted in a Quercus-dominated deciduous forest in the Northeastern USA, we examined whether age-related decline in stand above-gr...
