Carbon stock and carbon accretion in naturally-regenerating plots (Farr study control plots and Taylor plots). a Measured and modeled carbon stock through time. Solid lines describe carbon accretion measurements within individual plots across a range of ages. Dashed lines are NMLE best fit models for all tree carbon (live and dead trees) and for live tree carbon. Note that the plots with low carbon stock values are all located in the same sites which occurred on the lowest productivity areas that were sampled. Observed carbon accretion rates across stand age for b for all carbon (live and dead trees) and for c for live trees only. Implied carbon accretion (derivative of the NMLE model) as a function of stand age for d for all carbon (live and dead trees) and for e for live trees only
