Forest soils can suffer from various threats, some of which are human induced. Although
mechanized harvesting allows for high productivity, it may also seriously damage forest …

Soil compaction associated with mechanized wood harvesting can long-lastingly disturb
forest soils, ecosystem function, and productivity. Sustainable forest management requires …

Summary A new model, RothPC‐1, is described for the turnover of organic C in the top
metre of soil. RothPC‐1 is a version of RothC‐26.3, an earlier model for the turnover of C in …

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 …

Most wildfires, even the most severe, burn at mixed intensities across a landscape,
depending on local fuel loads, fuel moistures, and wind strength and direction. This …

Although the rates and mechanisms of soil organic matter (SOM) stabilization are difficult to
observe directly, radiocarbon has proven an effective tracer of soil C dynamics, particularly …

The long residence time of carbon in forests and soils means that both the current state and
future behavior of the terrestrial biosphere are influenced by past variability in climate and …

To develop a model describing the dependence of annual soil respiration on climate and
soil properties, we compiled 657 published annual soil respiration (Rs) measurements that …

Subsurface soil CO2 concentration is an important component of the terrestrial C budget and
site specific information on the spatial and temporal variability and how it responds to forest …

We examined constraints on soil CO2 respiration in natural oak woodlands, and adjacent
vineyards that were converted approximately 30 yr ago from oak woodlands, in the Oakville …
