It is recognized that human activities, such as fossil fuel burning, land-use change, and
forest harvesting at a large scale, have resulted in the increase of greenhouse gases in the …

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 …

Soil respiration is one of the major carbon (C) fluxes between terrestrial ecosystems and the
atmosphere and plays an important role in regulating the responses of ecosystem and …

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 …

We investigated general effects of ecological restoration treatments on soil function in
frequent‐fire forests of the western United States using a systematic review methodology …

Forest thinning influences soil processes by altering key microclimatic conditions, root
density, microbial communities, organic matter turnover and nutrient budgets. It introduces a …

Fire is a driver of ecosystem patterns and processes in forests globally, but natural fire
regimes have often been altered by decades of active fire management. Following almost a …

Elucidating the response mechanism of soil respiration (Rs) to silvicultural practices is
pivotal to evaluating the effects of management practices on soil carbon cycling in planted …

Thinning is the main silvicultural method for improving stand growth and wood quality,
however, despite the relevance and extensive use of thinning in forest management, its …

Understanding soil respiration (R s) response to thinning is an important component of our
understanding of belowground carbon (C) dynamics and evaluating effects of forest …
