Forests are an important source for fiber and fuel for humans and contain the majority of the
total terrestrial carbon (C). The amount of C stored in the vegetation and soil are strongly …

They may influence us as individuals by their encouragement and guidance; they may affect
their community through their untiring commitment to service and the greater good; or they …

How, where, and why carbon (C) moves into and out of an ecosystem through time are long‐
standing questions in biogeochemistry. Here, we bring together hundreds of thousands of C …

In one of the most influential studies in the recent history of forest ecology, WW Covington
(1981) described a pattern in organic matter storage in the forest floors of northern …

The interdisciplinary study of human–environment interactions is becoming increasingly
important around the world. Long‐term experimental manipulations that combine …

Historical land use can influence forest species composition and structure for centuries after
direct use has ceased. In Wisconsin, USA, Euro‐American settlement in the mid‐to late …

Forest disturbances greatly alter the carbon cycle at various spatial and temporal scales. It is
critical to understand disturbance regimes and their impacts to better quantify regional and …

The degree to which carbon concentration (CC) of woody detritus varies by tree taxa, stage
of decay, tissue type (ie, bark versus wood), and vertical orientation was examined in …

The evaluation of impacts of land use change is in general limited by the knowledge of past
land use conditions. Most publications on the field present only a vague description of the …

Coarse woody debris (CWD) is generally considered as dead woody materials in various
stages of decomposition, including sound and rotting logs, snags, and large branches. CWD …
