Thinning intensity influences the C:N:P stoichiometry in forest ecosystems: A global synthesis by Chongwei Fan, Guiyao Zhou, Hongyang Chen, Zhenggang Du, Ruiqiang Liu, Yanghui He, Changjiang Huang, Shuying Qiu, Yimin Zhu, Jie Li, Xuhui Zhou

“…Thinning-induced changes in the C:N, C:P, and N:P ratios were positively correlated with mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP), but negatively with post-thinning duration and stand age. These findings highlight the impact of thinning intensity on the connection between above- and belowground processes, which may decouple the biogeochemical cycles of C, N, and P in forest ecosystems. …”
