Important role of a few large-diameter tree species in basal area and its increase in an old-growth deciduous broadleaf forest in Japan
Because of their large diameter and biomass, old-growth forests provide valuable wood and high levels of ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sinks). Most of the aboveground biomass or basal area (BA) in old-growth forests is provided by small numbers of large-diameter trees. If the diversity of these t...
