Increasing attention is being paid to using modern fuelwood as a substitute for fossil
energies to reduce CO 2 emissions. In this context, forest biomass, particularly harvesting …

Concerns about climate change and the desire to develop a domestic, renewable energy
source are increasing the interest in forest biomass extraction, especially in the form of …

Production of biochar (the carbon (C)-rich solid formed by pyrolysis of biomass) and its
storage in soils have been suggested as a means of abating climate change by …

Forest harvest residues are important raw materials for bioenergy in regions practicing
forestry. Removing these residues from a harvest site reduces the carbon stock of the forest …

Effective forest governance measures are crucial to ensure sustainable management of
forests, but so far there has been little specific focus in boreal and northern temperate forests …

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of whole-tree harvesting (WTH) on the
growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) as …

Large scale bioenergy facilities require vast amounts of biomass materials and take
advantage of a variety of woody materials in various forms including logs, hog fuel, bark …

Observed increases in the mineralization rate of labile organic carbon (LOC) in the presence
of black carbon (BC) have led to speculation that corresponding decreases in non-pyrogenic …

Nitrogen (N) availability plays multiple roles in the boreal landscape, as a limiting nutrient to
forest growth, determinant of terrestrial biodiversity, and agent of eutrophication in aquatic …

There are concerns about the effect of increasing resource extraction and other human
activities on the soils and vegetation of the boreal zone. The review covers published papers …
