Stemflow Infiltration Hotspots Create Soil Microsites Near Tree Stems in an Unmanaged Mixed Beech Forest

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
In stemflow, rainfall is collected and channeled to a concentrated soil water input. It can constitute up to 30% of incident precipitation in some ecosystems.

A Field-Based Experiment on the Influence of Stand Density Reduction on Watershed Processes at the Caspar Creek Experimental Watersheds in Northern California

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Forests are integral to sustaining clean water resources and healthy watersheds. It is critical, therefore, that managers fully understand the potential impacts of their actions on myriad ecosystem services provided by forested watersheds.

Extreme droughts and floods in the Amazon forest [PDF]

, 2022
In recent years, the Amazon forest has experienced several major droughts (2010, 2015/16) and floods (2012, 2014, 2021). Extreme events represent a threat to the Amazons important functions, but these perturbations also provide valuable insights into the

Initial effects of crop tree release and traditional thinning on productivity and carbon storage of Cunninghamia lanceolata plantation

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
IntroductionThinning has a crucial impact on the carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems. The inconsistencies about the effects of thinning on carbon stocks in previous studies may be attributed to different thinning plans that designed to achieve different

High N Storage but Low N Recovery After Long-Term N-Fertilization in a Subtropical Cunninghamia lanceolata Plantation Ecosystem: A 14-Year Case Study

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Forests are among the most important N pools of all terrestrial ecosystems. Elevated atmospheric N deposition in recent decades has led to increased interest in the influences of N application on forest N cycles.

Ecohydrological implications of drought for forests in the United States [PDF]

Forest Ecology and Management, 2016
The relationships among drought, surface water flow, and groundwater recharge are not straightforward for most forest ecosystems due to the strong role that vegetation plays in the forest water balance. Hydrologic responses to drought can be either mitigated or exacerbated by forest vegetation depending upon vegetation water use and how forest ...

Temperature, moisture and freeze–thaw controls on CO2 production in soil incubations from northern peatlands

Scientific Reports, 2021
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS) net mineralization in soils.

Limited hydraulic recovery in seedlings of six tree species with contrasting leaf habits in subtropical China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Subtropical tree species may experience severe drought stress due to variable rainfall under future climates. However, the capacity to restore hydraulic function post-drought might differ among co-occurring species with contrasting leaf habits (e.g ...
