There is compelling experimental evidence and theoretical predictions that temporal stability of productivity, i.e., the summation aboveground biomass growth surviving recruitment trees, increases with succession. However, change in productivity natural forests, which may undergo functional diversity loss during canopy transition, remains unclear. Here, we use forest inventory dataset across eastern United States to explore how at multi-spatial scales changes stand age transition. We find decreases local metacommunity scales. Specifically, consistent declines result less asynchronous dynamics among species over succession, consequently weakening stability. Meanwhile, increasing mortality transition from conservative acquisitive succession weaken Successional composition dissimilarity communities cause more communities. decline surpasses rise communities, resulting lower old forests. Our results suggest old-growth forests highlight urgency protecting multiple spatial maintain Forest should increase examining States, authors decreased recommend

ABSTRACT Human‐driven land use changes significantly contribute to habitat loss and fragmentation in temperate forests, prompting the implementation of ecological conservation programs. However, these efforts may be undermined by competing demands economic development. This study assessed forest quality relative contribution decisions (ecological programs, cropland expansion, urbanization) Changbai Mountain region, Northeast China from 1990 2050. Our results revealed a region‐wide decline (−20.77%) over past 30 years, with projected improvements (+14.64%) under future scenario, albeit considerable regional variations. Ecological programs contributed long‐term preserving expanding cover. expansion urbanization through conversion were identified as primary drivers degradation, leading both direct indirect negative effects on remaining habitat. findings offer valuable insights into effectiveness trade‐offs posed pressures, highlighting need for integrated strategies that balance socio‐economic objectives management.
