Back to Roots: The Role of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi in Boreal and Temperate Forest Restoration

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Temperate and boreal forests are increasingly suffering from anthropic degradation. Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are symbionts with most temperate and boreal forest trees, providing their hosts with soil nutrients and water in exchange for plant carbon ...

SMAP Detects Soil Moisture Under Temperate Forest Canopies

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Soil moisture dynamics in the presence of dense vegetation canopies are determinants of ecosystem function and biogeochemical cycles, but the capability of existing spaceborne sensors to support reliable and useful estimates is not known.

Divergent drivers of the microbial methane sink in temperate forest and grassland soils

Global Change Biology, 2020
Aerated topsoils are important sinks for atmospheric methane (CH4) via oxidation by CH4‐oxidizing bacteria (MOB). However, intensified management of grasslands and forests may reduce the CH4 sink capacity of soils.

The contribution of photodegradation to litter decomposition in a temperate forest gap and understorey

New Phytologist, 2020
Summary Litter decomposition determines carbon (C) backflow to the atmosphere and ecosystem nutrient cycling. Although sunlight provides the indispensable energy for terrestrial biogeochemical processes, the role of photodegradation in decomposition has ...

Assessing Understory Complexity in Beech-dominated Forests (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Central Europe—From Managed to Primary Forests

Sensors, 2019
Understory vegetation influences several ecosystem services and functions of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests. Despite this knowledge on the importance of understory vegetation, it is still difficult to measure its three-dimensional ...
