Microbiomes are foundational components of the environment that provide essential
services relating to food security, carbon sequestration, human health, and the overall well …

Root water uptake (RWU) by vegetation influences the partitioning of water between
transpiration, evaporation, percolation, and surface runoff. Measurements of stable isotopes …

Global warming is accompanied by increasing water stress across much of our planet. We
studied soil biological processes and changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in 30 …

Modelling is essential in forest management as it enables the prediction of productions and
yields, and to develop and test alternative models of silviculture. The allometry of trees …

The partitioning of water fluxes in the critical zone is of great interest due to the implications
for understanding water cycling and quantifying water availability for various ecosystem …

Understanding the interactions of vegetation and soil water under varying hydrological
conditions is crucial to aid quantitative assessment of land‐use sustainability for maintaining …

Trees are able to reduce their carbon (C) losses by refixing some of the CO2 diffusing out of
their stems through corticular photosynthesis. Previous studies have shown that under ideal …

Plantation forestry has a long history in Europe and still supports local industry, generating
employment, improving environmental quality, and mitigating climate change. As part of …

Forest fragmentation threatens the ecosystem carbon (C) storage. The distribution patterns
of ecosystem C density are poorly documented for fragmented forests of differing patch size …

The major part of existing models of belowground competition in mixed forest stands is
limited in explaining the spatial distribution of roots as a response to competitive pressure …
