Tree species diversity and structural complexity drive the stability of productivity in subtropical forest restoration - Journal of Forestry Research
The stability of forest productivity is shaped by biodiversity and species asynchrony, the temporal variation in species’ productivity, and also by stand structural attributes, yet their contributions...
