TL;DR: In this article, a process-based model was used to evaluate the contribution of Chinese fir plantations under a range of changing conditions, including global warming, to sequestering carbon above and belowground.

TL;DR: In this article, the seasonality of plant phenology has been considered as a sensitive indicator of climate change. But, the authors did not consider the effect of seasonal changes in plant phenologies.

TL;DR: This article developed general allometric tree component biomass equations and investigated tree biomass allocation patterns for Pinus massoniana, a principal tree species native to southern China, by applying 197 samples across 20 site locations.

TL;DR: ANNs remain a better choice than many traditional methods when dealing with nonlinear problems, and possesses great potential for the study of global climate change and ecological issues.

TL;DR: Results indicated that responses of productivity of C. lanceolata plantation to increased N deposition were more related to stand age than N addition, depending on the proportion and age of growing forests, highlighting the importance of assessing N effects on carbon management and the long-term productivity of forest ecosystems.
