The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots
pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last …

We review the state‐of‐the‐art of cross‐disciplinary knowledge on phosphorus (P) cycling in
temperate forest ecosystems, focused at studies from hydrology, biology, biogeochemistry …

Key recent developments in litter decomposition research are reviewed. Long-term inter-site
experiments indicate that temperature and moisture influence early rates of litter …

Land use and climate changes induce shifts in plant functional diversity and community
structure, thereby modifying ecosystem processes. This is particularly true for litter …

The N ational F orest S oil I nventory (NFSI) provides the G reenhouse G as R eporting in G
ermany with a quantitative assessment of organic carbon (C) stocks and changes in forest …

Rising temperatures are predicted to accelerate the decomposition of labile soil organic
compounds such as proteins and carbohydrates, whereas biochemically resistant …

We examined the impact of permafrost on dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition in
Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed (CPCRW), a watershed underlain with …

Acid rain pollution is changing gradually from sulfuric acid rain (SAR) to mixed acid rain
(MAR) and then to nitric acid rain (NAR) with the rapidly growing number of motor vehicles …

Slowing or even cessation of litter decomposition with time is well-known, but there is
insufficient understanding of the chemical changes that contribute to increasing …

To gain insight into fine roots decomposition in subtropical China, the litter bag method was
used to examine the decomposition dynamics of dry mass, N, P, K, and organic fractions in …
