Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Biomass of each component of Pinus massoniana increased with stand age.
- Association The proportion of each biomass component of Pinus massoniana decreased with stand age, except stem-wood.
- Association Nutrient pools of Pinus massoniana varied with biomass pools, except for foliage.
- Intervention effect Lengthening the rotation from 31 to 51 years increased simulated biomass collection by at least 7.1%.
- Intervention effect Lengthening the rotation from 31 to 51 years reduced simulated nutrient export for K, Ca and Mg by at most 6.3%.
- Intervention effect N and P pools of Pinus massoniana varied with harvesting intensity in the simulation.
- Intervention effect Shortening the rotation from 51 to 17 years would increase simulated biomass collection by at least 12.4%.
- Intervention effect Shortening the rotation from 51 to 17 years would significantly increase nutrient removal.
- Intervention effect Raising harvest intensity would increase biomass collected from Pinus massoniana plantations.
- Recommendation Increasing the rotation length and decreasing harvest intensity are recommended to sustain the site productivity of Masson pine plantations.
