Stump harvesting is defined as an intensification of forest management in comparison with
stem‐only harvesting and removal of tops and branches. It increases soil mixing and the …

While the carbon (C) content of temperate and boreal forest soils is relatively well studied,
much less is known about the ratios of C, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) of the soil …

Afforestation of marginal cultivated land is an internationally approved climate mitigation
strategy, however, with uncertain implications for soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. We …

Large herbivores are capable of modifying entire ecosystems with a combination of direct
(for example browsing/grazing, trampling, defecation) and indirect (for example affecting …

The molecular speciation of phosphorus (P) in forest soils is of strategic importance for
sustainable forest management. However, only limited information exists about soil P …

The accumulation of soil carbon (C) is regulated by a complex interplay between abiotic and
biotic factors. Our study aimed to identify the main drivers of soil C accumulation in the …

Boreal forests sequester and store vast carbon (C) pools that may be subject to significant
feedback effects induced by climatic warming. The boreal landscape consists of a mosaic of …

As shrubs and trees are advancing into tundra ecosystems due to climate warming, litter
input and microclimatic conditions affecting litter decomposition are likely to change. To …

To increase the annual uptake of CO2 as well as the long‐term storage of carbon (C) in
forests, the Norwegian government consider large‐scale replacements of native, deciduous …

The thicknesses of organic (O) and organomineral (A) horizons are essential parameters for
estimating the soil organic carbon stock. They are usually measured at sampling points …
