Since carbon sequestration in soils reduces the amount of carbon available to the
atmosphere, the Kyoto Protocols have heightened interest in soil carbon pools and their …

Nine additive allometric equations for computing above-ground, standing biomass were
developed for the plant community and for each of 18 single species typical of the …

Studies dealing with the estimation of biomass, site productivity and the contribution of
forests to the global carbon balance require the use of allometric equations. There have …

The amount of logging residues left on site after clear‐felling has been shown to influence
the state of soil nutrient resources, but this effect may depend on soil conditions. In three …

The interacting influence of disturbances and nutrient dynamics on aboveground biomass,
forest floor, and mineral soil C stocks was assessed as part of the Boreal Forest Transect …

A sustainable forest management system requires that a balance must be reached between
ecosystem nutrient losses and gains in the course of a rotation. In order to determine the …

The expansion of oil sands resource development in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region in the
early 1990's led to concerns regarding the potential ecological and health effects of …

Rising demands for forest biomass have raised concerns that the increased removal of
organic residues and harvest impacts may reduce longer term site productivity. Replicated …

Carbon pools and net primary productivity (aboveground) were measured in managed
stands of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) and black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] BSP) …

Forest biomass, detritus, and soil are the three major pools of carbon of forest ecosystems.
Understanding the factors controlling these pools and the exchange of C amongst them and …
