Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forest soils.
By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can …

In the Nordic countries, emerging markets for renewable energy have resulted in increased
harvest intensity, ie, branches, tops, and stumps are now also harvested. This increased …

Given the urgent need for transitions towards global net zero emissions, decarbonisation of
the iron and steel industry is critical. Deep decarbonising this sector requires a breakaway …

We analyzed ecosystem carbon fluxes from eddy-covariance measurements in five young
forests in southern Sweden where the previous stand had been harvested by clear-cutting or …

Satisfying an increasing wood demand for material and energy in EU's future bioeconomy is
a big challenge. Under the spotlight of EU's climate and energy policies, wood is a key …

Dead woody materials are naturally part of the forest ecosystem introduced through the
process of tree mortality or intentionally through stand management practices which result in …

Mechanical site preparation (MSP) causes a mixing disturbance of the soil, which may
increase decomposition of soil organic matter and subsequent carbon (C) dioxide emissions …

Stump harvesting is defined as an intensification of forest management in comparison with
stem‐only harvesting and removal of tops and branches. It increases soil mixing and the …

Forest soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the largest terrestrial C pools, and it is not static.
Soils are inherently dynamic; furthermore, global change and management can alter how …

Stumps are a source of renewable energy (bioenergy) that can mitigate climate change. We
aimed to determine whether conclusions from recent studies could be generalized for other …
