The amount and dynamics of forest dead wood (both standing and downed) has been
quantified by a variety of approaches throughout the forest science and ecology literature …

One of the environmental impacts of land-use change (LUC) is a change in the net
exchange of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4) and …

Key message Primary remains of Eucalyptus (E. urophylla× E. grandis) plantations following
clear-cutting are the stumps and coarse roots. A chrono-sequence approach revealed that …

Despite the importance of plant litter decomposition for ecosystem nutrient cycling and soil
fertility, it is still largely unknown how this biogeochemical process is affected by different …

Abstract Effects of clear cutting and other forest disturbances on surface radiative properties
and the energy and CO 2 fluxes between land surface and the atmosphere can vary …

The boreal forest plays a critical role in regulating global atmospheric carbon dioxide and is
highly influenced by wildfire. However, the long-term recovery of forest carbon (C) storage …

1. Wood decomposition is characterised by complex and poorly understood nitrogen (N)
dynamics with unclear implications for forest nutrient cycling and productivity. Wood …

Stumps and coarse roots form the largest part of the coarse woody debris in managed
boreal forests but their contribution to nutrient cycling and carbon balance of forest …

The decomposition rate of CWD is a key missing link for a quantitative understanding of
forest ecosystem functioning. We examined factors influencing decomposition rates of bark …

Boreal forests are critical to the global carbon (C) cycle. Despite recent advances in our
understanding of boreal C budgets, C dynamics during compositional transition to late …
