DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2021.108454
Abstract: Abstract The forest floor provides an important interface of soil-atmosphere CO2 exchanges but their controls and contributions to the ecosystem-scale carbon budget are uncertain due to measurement limitations. In this study, we deployed eddy covariance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2020.104455
Abstract: Abstract Soil respiration is the second largest flux of carbon between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere and it is substantially sensitive to climate change. Monitoring CO2 efflux and its upscaling from field measurements to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.124777
Abstract: The effects of a 50% forest thinning intensity on Fukushima-derived 137Cs deposition by litterfall and its discharge by runoff in hillslope coniferous forest were monitored using four litterfall traps and a hillslope erosion plot. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130547
Abstract: The moisture content of forest floor fuels changes continuously with the influence of environmental factors; thus it has an important impact on the concentration and chemical composition of particulate matter emitted during forest fire. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117535
Abstract: Abstract Restoration practices are much needed on clearcut openings in commercial forest landscapes where some mammal species have declined in abundance from a loss of preferred food, cover, and other components of stand structure. Retention… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.117986
Abstract: Abstract Storing a significant portion of the global carbon (C) stocks, soils of the boreal forest display a high degree of spatial heterogeneity across the landscape, arising from variation in forest structure and landscape morphology,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119210
Abstract: Abstract Bryophytes and lichens are two main components of the forest floor vegetation. They provide essential ecosystem services, including nutrient recycling and water regulation. Here, we contrast the species richness, cover and community composition of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.8b06053
Abstract: Compared to the extensive research on aquatic ecosystems, very little is known about the sources and trophic transfer of methylmercury (MeHg) in terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, we examine energy flow and trophic structure using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-24711-6
Abstract: A clear-cutting of canopy trees during winter often causes severe foliar damage during the following spring in forest floor seedlings of Abies sachalinensis, a typical shade-tolerant evergreen coniferous species. The maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem… read more here.
