Good Things Take Time — Diversity Effects on Tree Growth Shift from Negative to Positive During Stand Development in Boreal Forests

from Journal of Ecology, July 6, 2020

Good Things Take Time — Diversity Effects on Tree Growth Shift from Negative to Positive During Stand Development in Boreal Forests Journal of Ecology, July 6, 2020 Here, researchers explored whether diversity effects on tree growth change predictably during stand development in Finland's boreal forests. Using tree ring records from mature forests, we tested whether diameter growth trajectories of dominant tree species growing in mixture differed from those in monoculture. They then compared these results with data from the world's longest running tree diversity experiment, where the same combinations of species sampled in mature forests were planted in 1999.
