Variations in fine root biomass of trees and understory in 16 stands throughout Finland were
examined and relationships to site and stand characteristics determined. Norway spruce fine …

Forest management methods and harvest intensities influence wood production, carbon
sequestration and biodiversity. We devised different management scenarios by means of …

Biodiversity studies of grassland communities on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) produced
dynamic results due mainly to environmental factors and anthropogenic activities. This study …

Fire suppression and past selective logging of large trees have fundamentally changed
frequent‐fire‐adapted forests in California. The culmination of these changes produced …

Increased wildfire activity in the Himalayan Mountains due to climate change may place
rural livelihoods at risk, yet potential climate change effects on forest fires in this region are …

Growing stocks of trees in Europe have increased in a magnitude that is significant in terms
of carbon (C) sink strength. Estimates of the soil C sink strength that this increased stock of …

By overemphasizing the role of overstory trees in forest studies, researchers, managers and
policy makers could well ignore an important functional component of the forest ecosystem …

A trait-based approach was developed to assess impacts of management practices on the
adaptive capacity of ecosystems using impacts of overstory density and thinning on …

Questions Biomass is an important ecological property, but its measurement is destructive
and time‐consuming and therefore generally missing for historical vegetation plots. Here we …

Despite the recognized importance of fine roots in influencing forest carbon and nutrient
cycling, knowledge of how fine root biomass, production and turnover rates change with …
