It is recognized that human activities, such as fossil fuel burning, land-use change, and
forest harvesting at a large scale, have resulted in the increase of greenhouse gases in the …

The global environment is constantly changing and our planet is getting warmer at an
unprecedented rate. The study of the carbon cycle, and soil respiration, is a very active area …

This paper presents CO2 flux data from 18 forest ecosystems, studied in the European
Union funded EUROFLUX project. Overall, mean annual gross primary productivity (GPP …

Fine roots form one of the most significant components contributing to carbon cycling in
forest ecosystems. We study here the effect of variation in root diameter classes, sampling …

Soil C sequestration research has historically focused on the top 0 to 30 cm of the soil
profile, ignoring deeper portions that might also respond to management. In this study we …

Forest management practices often severely affect forest ecosystem functioning. Tree
removal by clearcutting is one such practice, producing severe impacts due to the total …

Elevated dissolved carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations are
frequently observed in surface water soon after clear-cutting of boreal coniferous forests. It …

To better understand the effects of local topography and climate on soil respiration, we
conducted field measurements and soil incubation experiments to investigate various factors …

To assess the variation of soil respiration at different forest stages we measured it in a
coppiced oak (Quercus cerris L.) chronosequence in central Italy during two campaigns …

The effects of harvest on European forest net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon and its
photosynthetic and respiratory components (GPP (gross primary production) and TER (total …
