Abstract
•Subtropical forests have a great capacity to store above-ground biomass and carbon.•Biomass is driven by large-sized trees and temperature annual range.•Temperature annual range imposes an environmental restriction for biomass storage.•The effect of large trees highlight the needs of conservation of old-growth remnants.
