The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots
pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last …

We review the state‐of‐the‐art of cross‐disciplinary knowledge on phosphorus (P) cycling in
temperate forest ecosystems, focused at studies from hydrology, biology, biogeochemistry …

Key recent developments in litter decomposition research are reviewed. Long-term inter-site
experiments indicate that temperature and moisture influence early rates of litter …

Land use and climate changes induce shifts in plant functional diversity and community
structure, thereby modifying ecosystem processes. This is particularly true for litter …

The N ational F orest S oil I nventory (NFSI) provides the G reenhouse G as R eporting in G
ermany with a quantitative assessment of organic carbon (C) stocks and changes in forest …

Rising temperatures are predicted to accelerate the decomposition of labile soil organic
compounds such as proteins and carbohydrates, whereas biochemically resistant …

We examined the impact of permafrost on dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition in
Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed (CPCRW), a watershed underlain with …

Fast accumulation of soil organic matter (SOM) following forest restoration shifted from
cropland has been widely reported, but how the pools and molecular composition change …

Litter decomposition is a key ecological process that determines carbon (C) and nutrient
cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. The initial concentrations of C and nutrients in litter play a …

Acid rain pollution is changing gradually from sulfuric acid rain (SAR) to mixed acid rain
(MAR) and then to nitric acid rain (NAR) with the rapidly growing number of motor vehicles …
