“…Consistent with forest studies elsewhere (Huang et al, ; Ruiz‐Bennett et al, ), we found some support for our first hypothesis that forest carbon storage increased with tree‐species diversity and functional diversity. However, while our species‐ and functional‐diversity relationships with forest carbon storage were of comparable strength to those in other SEM ‐based analyses (β coefficients ~ 0.2; Poorter et al, , ), they were relatively weak at all levels of data aggregation compared to those with our other biotic variables (H′, CWM MAXH, CWM WD ).…”

“…Chiriaco et al, 2013) and with increasing fire frequency . Because most AGC is bound in the stems of trees and not susceptible to loss in fire (this study, Bennett et al, 2014, Volkova et al, 2014, we can speculate that maximum C loss in wildfires would be equal to total AGC minus C stored in trees. Volkova et al (2014) reported 32% AGC loss in an extremely hot wildfire that likely represents the upper limit for C loss in a forest fire, a number similar to the estimates of Valliant et al (2013).…”

“…To date, these studies report C inventory for open forest dominated by Eucalyptus obliqua in the state of Victoria, Australia. Bennett et al (2014) report the impacts of experimentally regulated and 3-7 times repeated planned fires over 27 years. While 3-year interval burning is highly unlikely to have occurred naturally in these forests or to be a goal of management, the results demonstrate the extremes of C stock changes that can result from repeated short interval low intensity burns.…”

“…In a fire‐tolerant forest where most carbon is stored in the larger trees (Bennett et al. ), this post‐fire indicator represents the balance between the retained carbon fixation capacity of surviving trees and ongoing decomposition losses associated with tree mortality (Ghimire et al. ).…”
