Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Abstract Purpose of Review Intensive management of forest plantations has evolved
significantly in recent decades because of advances in our understanding of environmental …

Abstract In 2019, the Forest Productivity Cooperative (FPC) celebrated its 50th anniversary.
The mission of the FPC is and has been creating innovative solutions to enhance forest …

Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient for plant growth in most forest ecosystems. In response
to P deficiency, plants alter root exudates (organic acids, phosphatases, and protons) to …

Quantifying soil P fractions is essential for understanding soil P cycling because these
fractions are potential sources of bioavailable P. Here, we investigated whether soil P …

Soil microorganisms can do both, mineralize and synthesize organic and condensed
phosphate (P) species. Whereas P mineralization has been extensively studied, few studies …

Soil phosphorus (P) availability often limits plant productivity. Classical theories suggest that
total P content declines at the temporal scale of pedogenesis, and ecosystems develop …

To elucidate the ecological role of biological soil crusts (BSCs) in the P-cycle and to disclose
vegetation (pine vs. beech), soil horizon (A horizon vs. C horizon) and land use intensity …

Repeated, grid-based forest soil inventories such as the National Forest Soil Inventory of
Germany (NFSI) aim, among other things, at detecting changes in soil properties and plant …

In this study, a phosphorus (P) module containing the biogeochemical P cycle has been
developed and integrated into the forest ecosystem model ForSAFE. The model was able to …
