Table 2 Life stage classifications based on DBH for species of different life forms: shrubs and trees
From: Species–habitat associations in an old-growth temperate forest in northeastern China
Life stages | DBH (cm) | |
|---|---|---|
Trees | Sapling | 1.0 ≤ DBH < 5.0 |
Juvenile | 5.0 ≤ DBH < 10.0 | |
Mature | DBH ≥ 10.0 | |
Shrubs | Sapling | 1.0 ≤ DBH < 2.0 |
Juvenile | 2.0 ≤ DBH < 3.0 | |
Mature | DBH ≥ 3.0 |
