Quantifying the missing link between forest albedo and productivity in the boreal zone [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
Albedo and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) determine the shortwave radiation balance and productivity of forests. Currently, the physical link between forest albedo and productivity is poorly understood, yet it is crucial

Contrasting patterns and drivers of soil fungal communities in subtropical deciduous and evergreen broadleaved forests

, 2019
Subtropical broadleaved forests play a crucial role in supporting terrestrial ecosystem functions, but little is known about their belowground soil fungal communities despite that they have central functions in C, N, and P cycles. This study investigated

What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

Ecography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Urea ammonium nitrate as the carrier for preplant burndown herbicides

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2023
Preplant weed control is a common practice for many small grain farmers. The timing of these applications often coincides with starter nitrogen (N) fertilizer application. Co‐application of the herbicides and N fertilizers, such as urea‐ammonium nitrate (

Conifer and broadleaved trees differ in branch allometry but maintain similar functional balances

, 2020
Conifers and broadleaved trees coexist in temperate forests and are expected to differ in partitioning strategies between leaf and stem. We compare functional balances between water loss and water supply, and between sugar production and sugar transport ...

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

The relationship between soil properties, enzyme activity and land use

Leśne Prace Badawcze, 2017
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of different types of land use (forest, tillage and pasture) on soil properties, especially enzyme activity. Our investigation was carried out on 53 research plots with 11 plots in broadleaved forest stands,

Modelling the national breeding distribution and population size of an elusive forest bird, the Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola)

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding the distribution of species is central to conservation biology. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a standard method used for this purpose, especially for elusive species for which limited occurrence data exist. The Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola (hereafter Woodcock) is an elusive, woodland‐dwelling wader that is declining in ...

Natural regeneration of broadleaved tree species in southern Sweden [PDF]

, 2001
The objective of the present thesis was to examine the effects of silvicultural treatments and seed dispersal from surrounding stands on the establishment of natural regeneration of broadleaved tree species in southern Sweden.

Restoring Broadleaved Forests in Southern Sweden as Climate Changes

, 2012
Temperate broadleaved forests in southern Sweden are important for biodiversity and policies have, so far, been concentrated on protecting the few valuable forests that still remain. This approach is now being challenged by rapid climate change.
