Root and leaf litter diversity below‐ground shape soil carbon stabilization and priming through altered decomposition dynamics

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root and leaf turnover is a major contributor to soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics and storage. However, while roots of multiple species occur in soils, and leaves are often incorporated to soil by bioturbation processes, it remains unknown how litter mixing in soils ...

Hydrothermal Modification of Beech Wood

Hydrothermal modification represents a promising pathway for upgrading European beech wood ( L.), particularly in the presence of false heartwood, which is traditionally regarded as a limiting defect in industrial processing. This chapter explores the potential of saturated steam treatment as a controlled, environmentally compatible approach to ...

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

Study of Selective Modification Effect of Constructed Structural Color Layers on EUROPEAN Beech Wood Surfaces

In this study, the brush method was used to construct structural color layers on the surface of European beech wood, which has wide rays. The purpose was to expand the research on the structural color modification of wood surfaces and to promote its ...

Crown plasticity and neighborhood interactions of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in an old-growth forest

, 2012
Competition for canopy space is a process of major importance in forest dynamics. Although virgin and old-growth European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests in Europe have been studied for many years, there are to date no studies of individual-tree crown

Ectomycorrhizal community composition and extramatrical hyphal proportion predict soil carbon stocks at the landscape scale

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While fungal composition has been linked to soil carbon at global scales, these patterns are often difficult to disentangle from broad climatic gradients and species range limits. To address this constraint, we tested which aspects of ectomycorrhizal community structure

Mode I fracture energy release rates of European beech wood-adhesive bonds

This paper presents mode-I fracture energy release rates (GI) of European beech wood (Fagus sylvatica) adhesive bonds for three common types of adhesives pressed with two levels of pressure and glued with three spread rates.

Thermal Parameters of Beech Wood Dust

BioResources, 2018
Wood as a flammable material can be characterized by fire and technical parameters, such as initial temperatures of its degradation, caloric heat, caloric value, and explosion limits. These parameters reflect the suitability of using a particular type of wood for construction purposes or as biofuel.
