Age‐related decline of stand biomass accumulation is primarily due to mortality and not to reduction in NPP associated with individual tree physiology, tree growth or stand structure in a…

- Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “These competitive processes between individual plants become rather more complex in vegetation that contains a mixture of species (Li et al. 2012; Xu et al. 2012) In monoculture plantations, the result of the asymmetric competition for sunlight is that taller trees are able to grow…”
- Emergent crowns and light-use complementarity lead to global maximum biomass and leaf area in Sequoia sempervirens forests (2016, background): “Long-term research, however, has shown that this decline is not attributed to an age-related decline in tree-level productivity, but rather to changes in forest structure caused by mortality of large trees (Coomes et al., 2012; Xu et al., 2012).”
