TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared carbon sequestration between China fir and China bamboo forests and found that China fir carbon storage was higher for China fir forests than for moso bamboo forests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated changes of C stocks in Chinese fir plantations converted from a natural broadleaved forest, based on a typical chronosequence in mountainland of subtropical China, which includes six first-generation Chinese fir stands at different development stages: 2- (recently regenerated), 7- (sapling), 16- (middle-aged), 21- (pre-mature), 40- (mature) and 88-year-old (overmature).

TL;DR: Model results suggest that yield decline is caused primarily by a decline in soil fertility, largely as a consequence of slash burning in conjunction with short rotations, and may cause a gradual shift from tree dominance to shrub/herb dominance over subsequent rotations.
Abstract: A variety of competing hypotheses have been described to explain yield decline in Chinese-fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) plantations. The difficulty in implementing field experiments s...

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: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors developed a nested two-level nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) model that accounts for the random effects of site index classes and sample plots on tree crown width.
