Abstract Purpose of Review Carbon sequestration and storage in forest ecosystems is often
promoted as a solution for reducing CO 2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Yet, our …

The global magnitude (Pg) of soil organic carbon (SOC) is 677 to 0.3‐m, 993 to 0.5‐m, and
1,505 to 1‐m depth. Thus,~ 55% of SOC to 1‐m lies below 0.3‐m depth. Soils of …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Soils in equilibrium with a natural forest ecosystem have high carbon (C) density. The ratio
of soil: vegetation C density increases with latitude. Land use change, particularly …

We reviewed the experimental evidence for long-term carbon (C) sequestration in soils as
consequence of specific forest management strategies. Utilization of terrestrial C sinks …

Canada's managed boreal forest, 54% of the nation's total boreal forest area, stores 28 Pg
carbon (C) in biomass, dead organic matter, and soil pools. The net C balance is dominated …

Forest age, which is affected by stand‐replacing ecosystem disturbances (such as forest
fires, harvesting, or insects), plays a distinguishing role in determining the distribution of …

The current conditions of many seasonally dry forests in the western and southern United
States, especially those that once experienced low-to moderate-intensity fire regimes, leave …

This mini review discusses several key technical issues associated with cellulosic ethanol
production from woody biomass: energy consumption for woody biomass pretreatment …

Logging disturbances in boreal forest watersheds can alter biogeochemical processes in
soils by changing forest composition, plant uptake rates, soil conditions, moisture and …
