Agroforestry—the practice of growing trees and crops in interacting combinations—is
recognized worldwide as an integrated approach to sustainable land-use. It is estimated to …

Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a leading reference and a first-rate
source for the latest research in agronomy. As always, the subjects covered are varied and …

Forests are a critical component of the global carbon (C) budget, whether in their natural
state or actively managed. While deforestation is a primary driver affecting forest C sources …

Aims Variation in tree litter inputs and understory vegetation caused by human disturbances
and climate change in forest plantations can extend to alter forest stability and productivity …

Core Ideas Sample sizes varied from 3 to 17 to achieve±10% error at a 95% confidence
level. Bootstrapping is more robust for estimating sample size than the traditional method …

Forests not only provide forest products to meet people's demands, but also sequester
enough carbon to offset more than 11% of anthropogenic CO 2 release in the United States …

Losses of C and N from the forest floor and top 20-cm of soil were estimated following
separate severe wildfires at two Long-Term Soil Productivity sites in the Sierra Nevada of …

Growing interest in the use of planted forests for bioenergy production could lead to an
increase in the quantities of harvest residues extracted. We analysed the change in C and N …

The effects of fertilization, weed control, and fertilization plus weed control on vegetation and
soil C and N pools were examined for a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and slash pine (Pinus …

Forests and the soils beneath them are Earth's largest terrestrial sinks for atmospheric
carbon (C) and healthy forests provide a partial check against atmospheric rises in CO2 …
