A Chinese study found that mixed forests are able to store a higher amount of carbon due to the greater accumulation of wood debris<\/h2>\n

Mixed forests tend to capture and store more organic carbon<\/strong> in the soil than other woodlands. This is suggested by a study published in the journal Forest Ecosystems. In the research<\/a>, a team of scientists from Taizhou University<\/strong>, China, analysed the stock and quality of carbon at a depth of one metre in a series of forest areas located in the Wanglang<\/strong> Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province, southeast of the Tibetan Plateau<\/a>. The list of ecosystems studied includes shrub, deciduous broadleaf, deciduous and coniferous<\/strong>, middle-aged and mature coniferous forests.<\/p>\n
