Forest thinning is widely used in forest management activities and has complex effects on
underground carbon processes. Although many case studies have been done, how forest …

Abstract Knowledge gaps exist in our current understanding of the linkages among soil
respiration, microbial communities, and carbon sequestration following grassland …

Thinning is a crucial operation in forest management, which has important effects also on
understory, fauna and soil. We assessed the impact of semi-mechanized logging systems on …

Thinning is a crucial practice in forest management. There is, however, a dearth of studies
that focus on the effects of thinning carried out by modern heavy machinery on the physical …

Soil quality index (SQI) was an important tool for evaluating soil quality (SQ). The aim of the
study was to evaluate the stand density effects on SQ for Larix principis-rupprechtii …

Quantifying soil respiration (R s) and its components [autotrophic respiration (R a) and
heterotrophic respiration (R h)] in relation to forest management is vital to accurately …

Commonly, in Italy coppice utilization consists in a felling of about 80–85% of the above-
ground woody biomass, with release of scattered standards (about 40–120 standard/ha) …

Soil microbial communities influence soil biogeochemical cycling by affecting the production
of extracellular enzymes and the release of carbon dioxide. Changes in litter input or stand …

Agroforestry systems may help significantly reduce atmospheric carbon levels in forthcoming
years through photosynthesis and regulation of soil CO 2 efflux. This study aimed to …

In Mediterranean ecosystems an increasing demand for in situ trace gas exchange data is
emerging to enhance the adaptation and mitigation strategies under forest degradation …
