A poor understanding of the fraction of global plant biomass occurring belowground as roots
limits our understanding of present and future ecosystem function and carbon pools. Here …

Globally, the allocation of root-shoot biomass is a key plant-adaptive strategy for terrestrial
ecosystems to enhance carbon-sequestration capacity. However, the deep mechanisms of …

A number of studies have investigated regional and continental scale patterns of carbon (C)
stocks in forest ecosystems; however, the altitudinal changes in C storage in different …

Planted forests are critical to climate change mitigation and constitute a major supplier of
timber/non-timber products and other ecosystem services. Globally, approximately 36% of …

Climate change has increased the need of information on amount of forest biomass. The
biomass and carbon storage for larch (Larix spp.) in large geographic regions in China were …

A change in land use from agriculture to forest generally increases soil acidity. However, it
remains unclear to what extent plant traits can enhance or mitigate soil acidification caused …

Feature selection (FS) can increase the accuracy of forest aboveground biomass (AGB)
prediction from multiple satellite data and identify important predictors, but the role of FS in …

Understanding forest carbon budget and dynamics for sustainable resource management
and ecosystem functions requires quantification of above-and below-ground biomass at …

Aboveground biomass (AGB) is a key parameter for assessing the carbon sequestration
potential of urban ecosystems. However, traditional empirical models for AGB estimation …

An accurate characterization of tree, understory, deadwood, floor litter, and soil organic
carbon (SOC) pools in temperate forest ecosystems is important to estimate their …
