Forest Age Rivals Climate to Explain Reproductive Allocation Patterns in Forest Ecosystems Globally.

Indicators of soil fertility also significantly affect RA, while forest age effects were comparable, and arguably more robust, than climate effects and showed an increasing trend with stand age.

Climate effects were more pronounced for reproductive litterfall flux alone, with stronger unimodal effects of temperature and precipitation than observed for RA, while leaf litterfall flux showed only a positive linear relationship with mean annual temperature and a weakly significant concave down relationship with mean annual precipitation (Figure 3b,c , Table 1 ). 3.2.
