“…We are aware that taller tree species have a higher basal area at the stand level (Kohyama et al, 2020). The applied standardization of recruitment rates per basal area might thus have introduced an artefactual negative correlation between stature and per-basal area recruitment.…”

“…Overall, RAWP decreases across tree size classes, consistent with our expectations (Hypothesis 2a), with previous findings in tropical and temperate forests (Mencuccini et al ., 2005; Kohyama et al ., 2020), and with the expected decrease in photosynthetic activity (per unit mass; Drake et al ., 2010; H. Poorter et al ., 2015) and increase in nonwoody tissue investment (Ryan et al ., 2004; Thomas, 2011) as trees get larger. This pattern was surprisingly similar across all our sites.…”

“…Studies across many different forest types and tree species have observed decreasing productivity per unit biomass with tree size (e.g. Mencuccini et al ., 2005; Kohyama et al ., 2020). This occurs even though absolute productivity generally continues to increase with tree size (e.g.…”

Tree size shapes forest carbon dynamics and determines how trees interact with their environment, including a changing climate. Here, we conduct the first global analysis of amongsite differences in how aboveground biomass stocks and fluxes are distributed with tree size.We analyzed repeat tree censuses from 25 large-scale (4-52 ha) forest plots spanning a broad climatic range over five continents to characterize how aboveground biomass, woody productivity, and woody mortality vary with tree diameter. We examined how the median, dispersion, and skewness of these size-related distributions vary with mean annual temperature and precipitation.In warmer forests, aboveground biomass, woody productivity, and woody mortality were more broadly distributed with respect to tree size. In warmer and wetter forests, aboveground biomass and woody productivity were more right skewed, with a long tail towards large trees. Small trees (1-10 cm diameter) contributed more to productivity and mortality than to biomass, highlighting the importance of including these trees in analyses of forest dynamics.Our findings provide an improved characterization of climate-driven forest differences in the size structure of aboveground biomass and dynamics of that biomass, as well as refined benchmarks for capturing climate influences in vegetation demographic models.

The article presents an overview of scientific publications on the subject of the study «carbon balance in terrestrial ecosystems», made for the territory of Japan and indexed in the Scopus database for the period 2017-2021. Within this theme, the areas with the highest number of articles are highlighted: carbon fluxes in soils, carbon stocks in above ground phytomass (mainly studies of the ecosystems of Hokkaido), features of carbon dioxide sequestration by various plant species typical for Japan, as well as the carbon balance dynamics associated with deforestation, reforestation and natural phenomena such as typhoons. The most active in publishing activity scientific and academic institutions were identified (Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute; National Agriculture and Food Research Organization; Hokkaido University).
