Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Sentinel‐2 to Understand Subcanopy Light Regimes and Understory Diversity of Vascular Plants in Temperate Mountain Forests

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.

Multi‐level nitrogen and phosphorus addition synergistically reduces alpine grassland stability via species compositional changes

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nutrient addition generally weakens the stabilizing effects of plant diversity on grassland productivity. However, whether this destabilizing effect is associated with species compositional changes and varies with nutrient input levels remains unclear.

The changes of soil nitrogen and carbon contents in a long-term field experiment under different systems of nitrogen fertilization

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2008
Content of N and C in soil were investigated in a long-term field experiment under different systems of N fertilization. Chernozem and Cambisol were extracted using hot water (Nhws, Chws) and 0.01M CaCl2 (NCaCl2, CDOC). The Ct/Nt ratio in Chernozem was 9.

Impact of harvest intensity on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungal communities in forest soils

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low‐intensity tree harvesting has been proposed as a sustainable forest management practice to balance and preserve forest productivity, carbon storage and resilience to climate extremes. Soil fungi play a central role in driving tree performance and soil carbon storage,

A field study of lead phytoextraction by various scented Pelargonium cultivars [PDF]

, 2008
Phytoremediation appears to be a promising technique for metal soil clean up, although its successful application on a large scale still remains a challenge.

Do water dynamics and land use in riparian areas change the spatial pattern of physical–mechanical properties of a Cambisol?

, 2022
Changes in land use in riverside ecosystems added to the flood and ebb regimes of rivers modify the spatial variability of the physical–mechanical attributes of soil, making it more susceptible to degradation processes, especially during the rainy season.

Tropical savanna restoration: topsoil removal and direct‐seeding promote a biodiverse and invasion‐resistant community

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Open ecosystems, such as native grasslands and savannas, cover vast tropical areas and sustain multiple ecosystem services. However, they face intense degradation due to conversion into pastures with exotic grasses that invade natural ecosystems.

Contrasting effects of multifactorial carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus amendments on soil microbial carbon‐use efficiency and biomass turnover in a subtropical grassland and forest soil

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Soil microbial carbon‐use efficiency (CUE) and biomass turnover have been identified as important drivers of biogeochemical processes; however, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the factors driving them. Here, we tested how multifactorial carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) amendments affect microbial CUE and biomass turnover ...

An Andosol-Cambisol toposequence on granite in the Austrian Bohemian Massif

, 2004
In Europe, non-allophanic Andosols are linked with Hercynian basic and metabasic rocks in smoothed highlands with a cool and humid climate. We describe an Andosol-Cambisol toposequence derived from Variscan coarse-grained granite in Northern Austria ...
