![]() The purpose of this study was to examine how the age of a stand of post-agricultural Scots pine forests affects the species composition, biomass and the carbon stock of the forest understorey. The growing proportion of vascular plants in the understorey biomass results in an increase in the understorey C/N ratio.The highest amount of carbon is accumulated in understorey species like Vaccinium myrtillus and Dicranum polysetum ![]() Total understorey’s carbon stock increases over three times.Biomass of mosses decreases by a quarter, while biomass of herbs increases several times.Understorey plant species diversity significantly increases with the age of a Scots pine stand.Species diversity, biomass accumulation and carbon sequestration in the understorey of post-agricultural Scots pine forests. ![]() Species diversity, biomass accumulation and carbon sequestration in the understorey of post-agricultural Scots pine forests ![]()
