- * Using structural equation modeling, researchers analyzed data from 73 natural forest and 30 plantation plots in northwest China to find that large plants, species diversity, and stand density all contribute positively to aboveground biomass, though soil fertility's effects vary between forest types.
- * The findings indicate that while climatic water availability doesn't directly affect biomass, it influences species diversity and stand density, making it important to consider how these factors interact in managing forests and plantations.
