Stem Trait Spectra Underpin Multiple Functions of Temperate Tree Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
A central paradigm in comparative ecology is that species sort out along a slow-fast resource economy spectrum of plant strategies, but this has been rarely tested for a comprehensive set of stem traits and compartments.

QUALITY OF TREE LITTER AS AN INFORMATIVE INDICATOR OF FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF FORESTS

Вопросы лесной науки, 2023
Relevance and goals. In the context of global climate change, the climate-regulating function of forests deserves special attention. There is still no functional classification of forests according to the effectiveness of carbon accumulation function ...

Ecology and Classification of Forests in Turkey

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2014
AbstractTurkey possesses all types of parent materials or bedrocks like metamorphic, sedimentary and volcanic belonging to different geological era and periods. Some parent materials contain evaporitic sediments with salt, gypsum and high contents of alkaline materials which mostly prevent the growth of climax vegetation.

Outbreaks of European spruce bark beetle dramatically altered Norway spruce-dominated stands with implications for volant wildlife in the Białowieża Forest, Poland

Annals of Forest Science
Key message An outbreak of the European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) in spruce (Picea abies L.) dominated forest stands in the Białowieża Forest, Poland, has led to fundamental changes in forest characteristics.

Potential distribution of the spring ephemeral plant Adonis amurensis in Northeast China under future climate change

Ecosphere, 2023
Adonis amurensis Regel et Radde is an early spring plant in northeastern China that has great ornamental value because it blooms before other plants have sprouted. It has not been used to its full potential due to environmental restrictions on its growth.

Retention of harvest residues promotes the accumulation of topsoil organic carbon by increasing particulate organic carbon in a Chinese fir plantation

Forest Ecosystems
Background: As commonly used harvest residue management practices in subtropical plantations, stem only harvesting (SOH) and whole tree harvesting (WTH) are expected to affect soil organic carbon (SOC) content.

Trends and priorities in soil inorganic carbon research in arid and semi-arid ecosystems

Discover Soil
Soil inorganic carbon (SIC) forms a major part of the global soil carbon pool, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where it often exceeds soil organic carbon (SOC).

Altered leaf functional traits by nitrogen addition in a nutrient-poor pine plantation: A consequence of decreased phosphorus availability

Scientific Reports, 2017
This study aimed to determine how specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) respond to N addition and understory vegetation removal in a 13-year-old Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) plantation.
