Wood-decaying fungi are essential for the functioning of forest ecosystems. They provide
habitat for many other organisms and enable the regeneration of forests throughout the …

We analyzed 13 years (1992− 2004) of CO2 flux data, biometry, and meteorology from a
mixed deciduous forest in central Massachusetts. Annual net uptake of CO2 ranged from 1.0 …

Most of our global population and its CO2 emissions can be attributed to urban areas. The
process of urbanization changes terrestrial carbon stocks and fluxes, which, in turn, impact …

Coarse woody debris (CWD) and canopy gaps are thought to be important structural
components that influence forest ecosystem processes, yet few studies have assessed …

There is conflicting evidence about the importance of urban soils and vegetation in regional
C budgets that is caused, in part, by inconsistent definitions of “urban” land use. We …

Coarse woody debris (CWD) is critical for forest ecosystem carbon (C) storage in many
ecosystems. Since the turnover of CWD is mostly driven by mineralization, changes in …

Fungal species vary in the rate and way in which they decay wood. Thus, understanding
fungal community dynamics within dead wood is crucial to understanding decomposition …

Forests around the world are increasingly fragmented, and edge effects on forest
microclimates have the potential to affect ecosystem functions such as carbon and nutrient …

Forests play an important role in mitigating many of the negative effects of climate change.
One of the ways trees mitigate impacts of climate change is by absorbing carbon dioxide …

Tropical peatlands, which provide important functions such as biodiversity provisioning and
carbon (C) storage, are currently threatened by land‐use conversions. Thus, conservation …
