Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of thinning on stand
growth, carbon (C) sequestration, and soil properties in Brutia pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) …

Fine and small roots of trees are an important part of the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle because
they comprise a large fraction of annual net primary production and as ephemeral tissues …

Silvicultural thinning using whole‐tree harvesting (WTH) has been an important and
common forest management practice for Picea crassifolia plantations in the Qilian …

Soil providing a wide array of ecosystem services is subjected to quality deterioration due to
natural and anthropogenic factors. Most of the soils in Pakistan have poor status of available …

Land use conversion can affect natural ecological processes such as surface runoff and
erosion. Therefore, it has potential to change soil stability. To investigate this process in …

Determining the most suitable intensities for precommercial thinning (PCT) in oriental beech
(Fagus orientalis) stands, which cover substantial areas in Turkey and have a high …

Fine-root systems represent a very sensitive plant compartment to environmental changes.
Gaining further knowledge about their dynamics would improve soil carbon input …

In forest ecosystems, changes in the expression of tree absorptive root traits following
management interventions are expected to influence post-thinning forest structure and …

Abstract Effects of thinning on soil respiration and microbial respiration were examined over
a 2-year period (2010-2012) in a coppice-originated European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus …

The objectives of this study were:(1) to determine carbon stock changes in the soil and forest
floor of black pine (Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana) plantations in Turkey;(2) to determine the …
