The stands were paired across forest management history, so that each of the 12 pairs consists of one previously clear-cut forest (aged 43–82) and one near-natural forest i.e. never clear-cut (mean age of dominating trees 96–189). We studied how forest management history affects carbon fluxes, and which factors drive soil respiration in these 24 stands.
