Drought and heat reduce forest carbon uptake. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun, 2023
Climate extremes threaten the land carbon sink and it is important to understand their impact in a changing climate. A recent study provides new insights on reduced forest carbon uptake during the severe 2022 drought and heatwave across Europe.

Integrated global assessment of the natural forest carbon potential. [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2023
Analysis of ground-sourced and satellite-derived models reveals a global forest carbon potential of 226 Gt outside agricultural and urban lands, with a difference of only 12% across these modelling approaches. Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon

A national assessment of urban forest carbon storage and sequestration in Canada. [PDF]

open access: yesCarbon Balance Manag, 2023
During a time of rapid urban growth and development, it is becoming ever more important to monitor the carbon fluxes of our cities. Unlike Canada’s commercially managed forests that have a long history of inventory and modelling tools, there is both a ...

Warming exacerbates global inequality in forest carbon and nitrogen cycles. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun
Forests are invaluable natural resources that provide essential services to humanity. However, the effects of global warming on forest carbon and nitrogen cycling remain uncertain. Here we project a decrease in total nitrogen input and accumulation by 7 ±

Forest Carbon Management: a Review of Silvicultural Practices and Management Strategies Across Boreal, Temperate and Tropical Forests

open access: yesCurrent Forestry Reports, 2021
Carbon sequestration and storage in forest ecosystems is often promoted as a solution for reducing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Yet, our understanding is lacking regarding how forest management strategies affect the net removal of greenhouse ...

The global distribution and drivers of wood density and their impact on forest carbon stocks. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Ecol Evol
The density of wood is a key indicator of the carbon investment strategies of trees, impacting productivity and carbon storage. Despite its importance, the global variation in wood density and its environmental controls remain poorly understood ...

Fungal community composition predicts forest carbon storage at a continental scale. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun
Forest soils harbor hyper-diverse microbial communities which fundamentally regulate carbon and nutrient cycling across the globe. Directly testing hypotheses on how microbiome diversity is linked to forest carbon storage has been difficult, due to a ...

Carbon, climate, and natural disturbance: a review of mechanisms, challenges, and tools for understanding forest carbon stability in an uncertain future. [PDF]

open access: yesCarbon Balance Manag
In this review, we discuss current research on forest carbon risk from natural disturbance under climate change for the United States, with emphasis on advancements in analytical mapping and modeling tools that have potential to drive research for ...

Roles of fire history and rewetting in peatland restoration and vegetation recovery on the Merang peat dome, South Sumatra, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2023
In the restoration of drained and degraded tropical peat swamp forest (PSF) it is not well understood whether fire suppression on its own is sufficient to facilitate regeneration, or if rewetting plays a key role.

A process-based model for quantifying the effects of canal blocking on water table and CO2 emissions in tropical peatlands [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2023
Drainage in tropical peatlands increases CO2 emissions, the rate of subsidence, and the risk of forest fires. To a certain extent, these effects can be mitigated by raising the water table depth (WTD) using canal or ditch blocks. The performance of canal
