The last two decades have seen significant advances in understanding the cycling of carbon
and nutrients in ecosystems characterized by seasonal snow cover. This paper reviews and …

Denitrification, the anaerobic reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogenous gases, is an
extremely challenging process to measure and model. Much of this challenge arises from …

Increases in soil freezing associated with decreases in snow cover have been identified as a
significant disturbance to nitrogen (N) cycling in northern hardwood forests. We created a …

Deadwood forms a significant carbon pool in forest systems and is a potential source of
dissolved organic carbon (DOC) input to soil, yet little is known about how deadwood effects …

An important aspect of sustainable forest management is to assess the impact of forest
operations on ecosystem services. This work analyzed the long-term effect of two standard …

We characterised the remarkable heterogeneity following the large, severe fires of 1988 in
Yellowstone National Park (YNP), in the northern Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, USA, by …

Coarse woody debris (CWD) has become recognised as an important component of the
carbon (C) pool in forest ecosystems. In Ireland, managed Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis …

The biomass and decomposition of coarse woody debris (CWD,≥ 10cm in diameter) were
studied in a monsoon evergreen broad-leaved old-growth forest in Dinghushan Nature …

Deadwood decomposition is a complex and dynamic process with large implications for
biogeochemical cycling of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in forest soil and litter. Moreover, it …

Post-fire coarse woody debris can represent a valuable nutrient reservoir for a regenerating
ecosystem, helping to prevent soil fertility losses after a wildfire. However, there is scarce …
