The vertical and horizontal distribution of roots in northern hardwood stands of varying age (2006, background): “We studied three young (aged 19–27 years) and three older (aged 56–69 years) northern hardwood stands (Table 1) that were previously studied as part of a 13-stand chrono-sequence (Federer 1984; Yanai et al. 2000).”
Effects of stand age and tree species on canopy transpiration and average stomatal conductance of boreal forests (2005, background): “2) can make it hard to determine whether the resulting changes were due to the variation in the environmental drivers over time or to differences in time since disturbance (Yanai et al. 2000).”
Effects of clear-cutting on decomposition rates of litter and forest floor in forests of British Columbia (2000, background): “Recent remeasurements of forest floors on Federer’s chronosequence ( Yanai et al. 2000 ) do not validate the proposed pattern of forest floor biomass loss and recovery after harvesting.”
Biomass and Carbon Storage in an Age-Sequence of Korean Pine (Pinus koraiensis) Plantation Forests in Central Korea (2011, unknown): “Forest floor organic matter has been reported to be highly susceptible to disturbances and variations in stand treatment, litter input, and decomposition rate (Yanai et al. 2000; Johnson et al. 2003; Pregitzer and Euskirchen 2004; Peichl and Arain 2006; Taylor et al. 2007).”
