Spatially explicit knowledge of recent and past soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in forests
will improve our understanding of the effect of human-and non-human-induced changes on …

Tree decline is a global concern and the primary cause is often unknown. Complex
interactions between fluctuations in nitrogen (N) and acidifying compounds have been …

Soil extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) stoichiometry reflects the dynamic balance between
microorganism metabolic demands for resources and nutrient availability. However …

In recent decades, the use of heavy machinery in forest management has significantly
increased, causing the compaction of forest soils and potentially affecting seedling survival …

Lateral transport of carbon plays an important role in linking the carbon cycles of terrestrial
and aquatic ecosystems. There is, however, a lack of information on the factors controlling …

The ability to accurately assess the impact of organic soil drainage on greenhouse gas
emissions (GHG) is still limited. Methane (CH4) emissions are characterized by significant …

In forest soils on calcareous parent material, carbonate is a key component that influences
both chemical and physical soil properties and thus fertility and productivity. At low organic …

An outdoor pot experiment was designed to study the potential of poplar (Populus
nigra'Italica') in phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). Poplar was treated with a …

Herbaceous understory vegetation is an important part of temperate forested ecosystems,
the diversity and composition of which are strongly dependent on the conditions of the forest …

Abstract Knowledge of the spatial pattern of soil organic carbon (SOC) and its influencing
factors is important for understanding the carbon cycle. We investigated the SOC density …
