Extended Data Fig. 6: Annual growth rates across age classes.
From: Global covariation of forest age transitions with the net carbon balance
a–k, Annual growth rates across age classes for forests replaced by young stands (in orange) and undisturbed ageing forests (in green) in each TRANSCOM-Land region. The annual growth rate represents the net change in biomass per year. Stand-replaced forests (orange) correspond to areas where older stands have been replaced by younger forests, which generally exhibit higher growth rates due to their early successional stage. In contrast, undisturbed ageing forests (green) represent forests that continue ageing without stand replacement, typically showing lower growth rates as they approach maturity.
