The decomposition of fine and coarse roots: their global patterns and controlling factors
X Zhang, W Wang - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
Fine root decomposition represents a large carbon (C) cost to plants and serves as a
potential soil C source, as well as a substantial proportion of net primary productivity. Coarse …

Indirect carbon dioxide emissions from producing bioenergy from forest harvest residues
Forest harvest residues are important raw materials for bioenergy in regions practicing
forestry. Removing these residues from a harvest site reduces the carbon stock of the forest …

Carbon and nitrogen release from decomposing Scots pine, Norway spruce and silver birch stumps
Stumps are the largest coarse woody debris component in managed forests, but their role in
nutrient cycling is poorly understood. We studied carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics in …

Climate effects of bioenergy from forest residues in comparison to fossil energy
L Gustavsson, S Haus, CA Ortiz, R Sathre, N Le Truong - Applied Energy, 2015 - Elsevier
Forest residues can be left at the harvest site to gradually decompose, or can be collected
for energy purposes. This study analyzes the primary energy and climate impacts of …

Forest bioenergy climate impact can be improved by allocating forest residue removal
A Repo, R Känkänen, JP Tuovinen… - GCB …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Bioenergy from forest residues can be used to avoid fossil carbon emissions, but removing
biomass from forests reduces carbon stock sizes and carbon input to litter and soil. The …
