“…This result indicates that annual leaf litterfall per plot was constant regardless of the number of trees in the plot. These data are generally consistent with the findings of Deshar et al [8], who found that leaf biomass was constant in self-thinning stands of B. gymnorrhiza on Okinawa Island. Figure 4 shows the correlation between stipule litterfall and reproductive organ litterfall.…”

“…An exponent value close to -3/2 was obtained, similar to what is observed in the Fukido mangrove forest (Suwa et al, 2021;Fig. 8) and in many mangrove forests as well (Analuddin et al, 2009;Deshar et al, 2012;Khan et al, 2013;Tabuchi et al, 2013;Azman et al 2021). This was achieved by implementing the species-specific morphological traits especially the DBH-D*crown relationship (Fig.…”

“…Some previous work reporting self‐thinning has revealed an increase of aboveground biomass with age caused by an increase in the mass of individual trees (Analuddin et al ., 2009; Deshar et al ., 2012; Walcker et al ., 2018). Therefore, it is unclear whether older (larger) trees produce fewer fine roots per unit of aboveground biomass compared with younger trees; whether fine roots live longer in older stands; or whether the heterogeneity of root distribution changes with tree age.…”

“…The mangroves studied by Perez-Ceballos et al (2018) were likely to be in an early pioneer stage, during which aboveground production is also known to increase; whereas our sites, which are substantially older, have reached maturity and begun to self-thin. Some previous work reporting self-thinning has revealed an increase of aboveground biomass with age caused by an increase in the mass of individual trees (Analuddin et al, 2009;Deshar et al, 2012;Walcker et al, 2018). Therefore, it is unclear whether older (larger) trees produce fewer fine roots per unit of aboveground biomass compared with younger trees; whether fine roots live longer in older stands; or whether the heterogeneity of root distribution changes with tree age.…”
