作者（2019）在《Long-term response of living forest biomass to extensive logging in subtropical China》一文中研究指出：Forest disturbance and recovery are critical ecosystem processes, but the temporal patterns of disturbance have not been studied in subtropical China. Using a tree-ring analysis approach, we studied post-logging above-ground（ABG） biomass recovery dynamics over a26-year period in four plots with different degrees of logging disturbance. Before logging, the ABG biomass ranged from 291 to 309 t ha-1. Soon after logging, the plots in primary forest, secondary forest, mixed forest and singlespecies forest had lost 33, 91, 90 and 100% of their initial ABG biomass, respectively. Twenty-six years after logging, the plots had regained 147, 62, 80 and 92% of their original ABG biomass, respectively. Over the 26 years following logging, the mean CAI（Current annual increment） were 10.1, 5.5, 6.4 and 10.8 t ha-1a-1 and the average MAI（Mean annual increment） 8.7, 2.5, 5.6 and 7.8 t ha-1a-1 for the four forest types, respectively. The results indicate that subtropical forests subjected to moderate logging or disturbances do not require intensive management and single-species plantings can rapidly restore the above-ground biomass to levels prior to heavy logging.
Abstract
Forest disturbance and recovery are critical ecosystem processes, but the temporal patterns of disturbance have not been studied in subtropical China. Using a tree-ring analysis approach, we studied post-logging above-ground（ABG） biomass recovery dynamics over a26-year period in four plots with different degrees of logging disturbance. Before logging, the ABG biomass ranged from 291 to 309 t ha-1. Soon after logging, the plots in primary forest, secondary forest, mixed forest and singlespecies forest had lost 33, 91, 90 and 100% of their initial ABG biomass, respectively. Twenty-six years after logging, the plots had regained 147, 62, 80 and 92% of their original ABG biomass, respectively. Over the 26 years following logging, the mean CAI（Current annual increment） were 10.1, 5.5, 6.4 and 10.8 t ha-1a-1 and the average MAI（Mean annual increment） 8.7, 2.5, 5.6 and 7.8 t ha-1a-1 for the four forest types, respectively. The results indicate that subtropical forests subjected to moderate logging or disturbances do not require intensive management and single-species plantings can rapidly restore the above-ground biomass to levels prior to heavy logging.
