Contribution of tree community structure to forest productivity across a thermal gradient in eastern Asia
The link between forest productivity, species diversity and climate remains contentious. Here, Kohyama et al. examine stand productivity and tree diversity in old-growth forests from Japan to Indonesia, showing that warmer sites are more productive, largely due to small-biomass species.
