Table 2 C storage (t C ha−1), C storage growth rate (%), and NPP (t ha−1 yr−1) in the four subtropical secondary forests predicted under current and future climate scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) in 2014, 2030, and 2060

From: Stand carbon storage and net primary production in China’s subtropical secondary forests are predicted to increase by 2060
