Forests influence climate and mitigate global change through the storage of carbon in soils.
In turn, these complex ecosystems face important challenges, including increases in carbon …

Plant growth is usually constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, or temperature,
rather than photosynthetic carbon (C) fixation. Under these conditions leaf growth is …

Exploring the spatiotemporal variation in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP),
analyzing the relationships between NPP and its influencing factors, and evaluating the …

Despite decades of research progress, ecologists are still debating which pools and fluxes
provide nitrogen (N) to plants and soil microbes across different ecosystems …

The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots
pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Boreal forests are important global carbon (C) sinks and, therefore, considered as a key
element in climate change mitigation policies. However, their actual C sink strength is …

Tropospheric concentrations of phytotoxic ozone (O3) have undergone a great increase
from preindustrial 10–15 ppbv to a present-day concentration of 35–40 ppbv in large parts of …

We analyse the short‐and long‐term consequences for atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG)
concentrations of forest management strategies and forest product uses in Sweden by …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations may warm northern latitudes up to
8° C by the end of the century. Boreal forests play a large role in the global carbon cycle …
