Plant traits and wood fates across the globe: rotted, burned, or consumed?
Wood represents the defining feature of forest systems, and often the carbon in woody
debris has a long residence time. Globally, coarse dead wood contains 36–72 Pg C, and …

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 …
