Phosphorus dynamics in litter–soil systems during litter decomposition in larch plantations across the chronosequence

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The dynamics of phosphorus (P) in litter–soil systems during litter decomposition across a plantation chronosequence remain to be underinvestigated, especially in terms of the nutrient cycle in plantations.

Bare Land Referenced Algorithm from Hyper-Temporal Data (BRAH) for Land Use and Land Cover Age Estimation

Land, 2023
Determining the age of land use and land cover (LULC) using satellite imagery has long been one of the challenging tasks in remote sensing research. Accurately determining age, especially crop age, is essential for plot management, biomass calculations ...

Tree size variation induced by stand age mainly regulates aboveground biomass across three major stands of temperate forests in South Korea

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Forest biomass and biodiversity are the most important elements of forest functions and ecosystem services. In this study, we explore the possibilities and ways to enhance ecosystem functions and services related to biomass and biodiversity.

Reforestation regulated soil bacterial community structure along vertical profiles in the Loess Plateau

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionReforestation is a widely used strategy for ecological restoration in areas facing ecological degradation. Soil bacteria regulate many functional processes in terrestrial ecosystems; however, how they respond to reforestation processes in ...

Antelope Bitterbrush Seed Production and Stand Age [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 2001
Antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata (Pursh) DC) is the most important browse species on many western mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) ranges. Lack of antelope bitterbrush seedling recruitment is a critical problem, and therefore, the influence of livestock grazing on antelope bitterbrush seed production is an important issue.

Impact of orography and stand canopy on stand volume in pure uneven-aged beech stands

Topola, 2022
European beech is one of the most important and most common tree species in Europe, which have extremely wide amplitude in sense of horizontal and vertical distribution. In Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) represents one of the most important tree species from an economic and ecological point of view, because it's ...

Changes in Bulk and Rhizosphere Soil Microbial Diversity and Composition Along an Age Gradient of Chinese Fir (Cunninghamia lanceolate) Plantations in Subtropical China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Soil microorganisms play key roles in biogeochemical cycling in forest ecosystems. However, whether the responses of microbial community with stand development differed in rhizosphere and bulk soils remains unknown. We collected rhizosphere and bulk soil

Transforming even-aged coniferous stands to multi-aged stands: an opportunity to increase tree species diversity? [PDF]

Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2020
Abstract Transforming even-aged coniferous stands into multi-aged ones is attracting growing interest in Europe. However, applying this silvicultural treatment, maintaining a continuous cover and relying on natural regeneration require a deep understanding of the factors driving interspecific competition in the understorey. In particular,

Forest structure characteristics on soil carbon and nitrogen storage of Pinus massoniana plantations in southern subtropic region

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Forest carbon and nitrogen storage significantly affect forest ecosystems and global carbon and nitrogen cycles. Forest management can achieve sustainable development by regulating stand structure.
