文摘
- •
Stand cover type and height explained changes in beta diversity better than age.
- •
Stand characteristics were better than climate at predicting beta diversity.
- •
Some stands within different age classes were similar in terms of tree diversity.
- •
Forest age structure is likely not an indicator of overall ecosystem sustainability.
- •
Complementary biodiversity indicators should be integrated in forest management.
