Nonlinear Increase of Vegetation Carbon Storage in Aging Forests and Its Implications for Earth System Models
Abstract Vegetation carbon stock (Cveg) in global forests, which is important for C cycle‐climate feedbacks, commonly increases with forest age. Due to the allometric growth of plants, the nonlinear increase in Cveg with woody fraction (fw) is expected across space. However, it remains unclear wheth...
