Abstract: Background and aimsDecomposition of the finest harvest residues is important for the carbon and nutrient cycle in forest ecosystems both before and after tree felling. We assumed that decomposition is dependent on harvest residue fraction… read more here.

Abstract: The biochemical and physiological properties of alpine woody plants responding to elevation are associated with needles and twigs age. However, the interactions with elevation were not well studied. In this study, we investigated age-related (current,… read more here.
