Aboveground biomass and productivity in temperate forests worldwide.

a: Fc: Fitzroya cupressoides, Mb: Mixed-broadleaf evergreen forests, Ac: Austrocedrus chilensis, Nb: Nothofagus betuloides, Aa: Agathis australis (values reported are just for this species and not for the accompanying trees), Ns: Nothofagus solandri, Ps-Th: Picea sitchensis-Tsuga heterophylla, Pm-Th: Pseudotsuga menziesii-Tsuga heterophylla, Ap-Pm: Abies procera-Pseudotsuga menziesii, Tm-Al-Pe: Tsuga mertensiana-Abies lasiocarpa-Picea engelmanii, Pe-Al: Picea engelmanii-Abies lasiocarpa, Ss: Sequoia sempervirens, EN: Evergreen needleleaf, MOT: Mature-old-growth temperate forests, OT: Old-growth temperate forests, MOCTM: Mature-old-growth cool temperate moist forestsEstimates of aboveground biomass (AGB), aboveground coarse wood productivity (NPPACW), canopy productivity (NPPlitterfall) and total aboveground productivity (NPPAG) for different temperate forests worldwide. Values reported in Mg of dry biomass/productivity in the original studies were converted to Mg of C using the coefficient 0.5 in the case of studies in other countries and the same coefficient as in this study in the case of forests in ChileAboveground biomass and productivity in temperate forests worldwide.
