Our knowledge of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics during stand development is not
only essential for evaluating the role of secondary forests in the global terrestrial C cycle, but …

Wood production varies substantially with resource availability, and the variation in wood
production can result from several mechanisms: increased photosynthesis, and changes in …

Forest soils and canopies are major components of ecosystem CO 2 and CH 4 fluxes. In
contrast, less is known about coarse woody debris and living tree stems, both of which …

Large trees in plantations generally produce more wood per unit of resource use than small
trees. Two processes may account for this pattern: greater photosynthetic resource use …

Clonal plantations of Eucalyptus are among the most productive forests in the world, with
intensification of silviculture and genetic breeding doubling the wood mean annual …

Tree stems and branches emit carbon dioxide (CO2) at rates that per unit area can rival
emissions from leaves or the soil surface and summed over a forest stand can comprise 14 …

Large differences in productivity have been observed between neighboring Eucalyptus
plantations in Brazil, that cannot be explained by climate and are unlikely to be due solely to …

The extent that photosynthesis is stimulated or suppressed in response to changing
demands is a challenging topic for physiology. In part, the question is difficult to answer …

Stem CO2 efflux is known to vary seasonally and vertically along tree stems. However,
annual tree-and stand-scale efflux estimates are commonly based on measurements made …

Stem respiration constitutes a substantial proportion of autotrophic respiration in forested
ecosystems, but its drivers across different spatial scales and land‐use gradients remain …
