“…However, the carbon stock of fallen trees manifested a consistent pattern among different forests, Nebf > Acf > Ncf. We also discovered that the biomass of fallen trees in Nebf in Jiangxi Province was less than that in Abies fargesii forest [23], evergreen broad-leaved forests in the Daming Mountain [24], and other forests [25][26][27][28]; but was higher than the biomass of fallen trees in tropical seasonal rain-forests in Xishuangbanna [29], evergreen broad-leaved forests in Guangzhou [30] and natural forests of Castanopsis kawakamii in Sanming [31]. Conversely, the biomass of fallen trees in Ncf was less than that in Pinus tabulaeformis secondary forests in the Qinling Mountains [32], and Korean pine forests in the Changbai Mountains [33].…”

Abstract:Fallen trees comprise an important part of forest ecosystems and serve a central role in maintaining the biodiversity and tree regeneration of forests. However, the effects of stand origin and near-natural restoration on the biomass and carbon stock of fallen trees remain unclear. Based on 60 sampling plots of field surveys of mid-subtropical forests in Jiangxi Province, we investigated the stock and structural composition of fallen trees in artificial coniferous forests (Acf ), natural coniferous forests (Ncf ) (e.g., different stand origins) and natural evergreen broadleaf forests (Nebf ) (e.g., near-natural restoration). The following results were obtained: (1) the largest biomass and carbon stocks of fallen trees among three forest types (Nebf, Ncf and Acf ) were measured for Nebf ; (2) the fallen tree biomass and carbon stock in natural Cunninghamia lanceolata forest (Nclf ) were significantly larger than that in artificial Cunninghamia lanceolata forest (Aclf ), and the fallen tree biomass and carbon stock in natural Pinus massoniana forest (Npf ) were also significantly larger than those in artificial Pinus massoniana forest (Apf ); (3) the diameter class allocation in natural forests was more uniform than that in artificial forests; (4) the biomass of fallen trees with mild decay was not significantly different among forest types within stand origin or among the stand origin within forest types; however, the biomass of fallen trees with moderate and heavy decay significantly differed among stand origin (Aclf vs. Nclf, Apf vs. Npf ), but was not significant among the forest types (Aclf vs. Apf, Nclf vs. Apf ) within a stand origin. Our results suggested that the large biomass and carbon stock of fallen trees in Nebf may serve a significant role in mitigating global warming and carbon cycles in mid-subtropical forests. Therefore, stand origin and near-natural restoration exert significant effects on the carbon stock and structural composition of fallen trees in mid-subtropical forests.
