Effects of thinning on ecosystem carbon storage and tree-shrub-herb diversity of a low-quality secondary forest in NE China

Thinning is a widely used forest management tool but systematic research has not been carried out to verify its effects on carbon storage and plant diversity at the ecosystem level. In this study, the effect of thinning was assessed across seven thinning intensities (0, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35%) i...

Zusammenfassung:	Thinning is a widely used forest management tool but systematic research has not been carried out to verify its effects on carbon storage and plant diversity at the ecosystem level. In this study, the effect of thinning was assessed across seven thinning intensities (0, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35%) in a low-quality secondary forest in NE China over a ten-year period. Thinning affected the carbon storage of trees, and shrub, herb, and soil layers ( P
