Shade-tolerant and neutral broadleaved species are planted in thinned larch plantations.
Neutral species present “slow-growth, high-survival” at 50% thinning intensity.
Shade-intolerant species present “fast-growth, low-survival” at clear-cut site.
Different adaptive strategies for the two types responding to thinning intensities.
Proper broadleaved species are chosen based on light irradiance in larch plantations.
