Forest biomass is the largest carbon pool among terrestrial ecosystems, which plays an important role in mitigating global climate change through sequestrating carbon dioxide and increasing forested area and biomass. However, the disturbances such as climate change, timber harvesting and fire would affect forest biomass, therefore recently, an increasing attention rises on research of a wide range of disturbances that alter forest biomass and species composition. The forested area of China undergone intensive over鄄logging until 1998, to recover the forest structure and biomass from the past over鄄logged state, the government implemented forestry classified management. To reveal the effects of the forest management strategy, especially the timber harvesting on the forest and species biomass, the forest and main tree species biomass were simulated by LANDIS 7. 0 PRO in the Xiao Xing忆 an Mountains in northeastern China, which is one of the three largest forested areas in China and the ecotone between temperate and boreal forest. LANDIS 7. 0 PRO is the latest version of LANDIS (a spatially explicit model of forest landscape disturbance, management, and succession) , which could simulate the dynamics of forest biomass at landscape scale. The study area covers 1. 476 伊10 5 hm 2 of forested landscape,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
