Tree species diversity drives above‐ground carbon sequestration through light‐related trait shifts
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits can vary in response to tree species mixing, which in turn might influence biomass production and, consequently, carbon (C) sequestration in diverse forests.

Vulnerability of soil organic carbon in Amazonian Podsols to changes in environmental conditions [PDF]
It has recently been shown that the C stocks in Amazonian podzols are very large. They are much larger than was previously thought, particularly in the Bh horizon, which has been estimated to contain in excess of 10 Pg C for Amazonia alone.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses podozol and podzolic soils. The term podzol is applied to the bleached horizon that occurs near the surface of soils in the taiga zone. The word was by no means restricted to soils that were well drained. The appreciation of “illuviation” as an important feature of soils with bleached surface horizons led to ...

Radial growth of black cherry (Prunus serotina) at the northern limit of its native range
Abstract Climate change is forcing us to reassess the foundational principles of forest management. Shifts in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events are altering both our understanding of forest ecosystems and how we steward them. Scientific research aimed at providing useful information can help forest managers make informed, evidence ...

ABSTRACT A geoarcheological study of two large, stratified Indigenous pit features discovered at two Jesuit mission sites in Québec (Canada) was carried out to offer a detailed documentation of their contents and better understand their use over time. One of the pits is a 17th c.

PODZOLS OF LOWLANDS IN CZECHIA AND THEIR MEANING IN CARBON SEQUESTRATION [PDF]
Non-boreal podzol is azonal type of podzols in lowlands of midlle latitude, for which is especially typical translocation of organics compounds from soil surface into spodic horizon. During this translocation a considerable accumulation of organic matter

Using Environmental Tracers to Reduce Uncertainty in Natural Flood Management Modeling
Abstract Natural flood management (NFM) is a nature‐based solution that has grown in importance within flood risk policy and management over the last two decades. There is limited evidence on nature‐based solutions' effectiveness, and no accepted best practice on forecasting their performance. To explore NFM effectiveness, we built a hydrological model
