Fine and coarse roots are key contributors to belowground net primary productivity, and play
critical roles in the biogeochemical cycling of forest and woodland ecosystems. Despite their …

Abstract Background and Aims Forest trees directly contribute to carbon cycling in forest
soils through the turnover of their fine roots. In this study we aimed to calculate root turnover …

Estimation of the carbon (C) storages and fluxes in different forest ecosystems is essential
for understanding their C sequestration ability. The net ecosystem production (NEP) and the …

Below and aboveground vegetation dynamics are crucial in understanding how climate
warming may affect terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycling. In contrast to aboveground …

Aims Land-use change of tropical forests causes loss of soil organic matter and plant
productivity. Effects of fallow or plantation vegetation on soil organic matter storage need to …

Clear-cutting is a conventional method of forest management which significantly changes
carbon (C) cycling at the ecosystem level for a long time. Estimation of the interim period …

The aggressive expansion of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forest into adjacent
ecosystems which might alter the carbon balance replacement, has been noted recently in …

Estimation of soil-related carbon (C) fluxes is needed to understand the dynamics of the soil
organic carbon pool, to determine changes in the carbon balance and functioning of forest …

Estimation of the carbon (C) storages and fluxes in different forest ecosystems is essential
for understanding their C sequestration ability. Grey alder (Alnus incana (L.) Moench) is a …

Abstract In the Northern and Baltic countries, grey alder is a prospective tree species for
short-rotation forestry. Hence, knowledge about the functioning of such forest ecosystems is …
