DOI: 10.1007/s10021-019-00394-6
Abstract: Tree mortality from insect infestations can significantly reduce carbon storage in forest soils. In subarctic birch forests ( Betula pubescens ), ecosystem C cycling is largely affected by recurrent outbreaks of defoliating geometrid moths (… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2020.104749
Abstract: Abstract Iodine is an essential micronutrient that enters the food chain from soil primarily via plant root absorption. However, only water soluble and exchangeable fractions are usually linked to the bioavailable iodine in soils. Therefore,… read more here.
