Short summary
We measured the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and a managed oak plantation in the south-east of England for several years before and after a management thinning took place. We also measured changes in the structure of the forest canopy using aerial light detection and ranging (lidar). Whilst management thinning had a large discernible effect on the canopy structure, for example increasing canopy complexity, the effects of thinning on the carbon balance were not as evident.
