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 …

Worldwide, forests have absorbed around 30% of global anthropogenic emissions of carbon
dioxide (CO 2) annually, thereby acting as important carbon (C) sinks. It is proposed that …

Global carbon dioxide (CO2) evasion from inland waters (rivers, lakes, and reservoirs) and
carbon (C) export from land to oceans constitute critical terms in the global C budget …

A key uncertainty in quantifying dead wood carbon (C) stocks—which comprise~ 8% of total
forest C pools globally—is a lack of accurate dead wood C fractions (CFs) that are employed …

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 …

In forest ecosystems, deadwood is an important component that provides habitat and
contributes to nutrient cycles, as well as to carbon and water storage. The change of wood …

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 …

Deadwood is a key component of forest ecosystems, but there is limited information on how
it influences forest soils. Moreover, studies on the effect of thinning-derived deadwood logs …

Deadwood may alter the chemical and microbial properties of forest soils. However, it is
unclear how downed deadwood (logs) of different tree species affect nutrients, microbial …

Background, aim, and scope A large proportion of soil nitrogen (N;> 80%) is present in
organic form. Current research on plant N uptake in terrestrial ecosystems has focused …
