2023, Science of the Total EnvironmentCharacteristics and intrinsic influencing factors of log humification depend on wood traits in a subalpine forest
2023, CatenaCitation Excerpt :Deadwood plays an essential role in harboring biodiversity, conserving soil and water, promoting tree regeneration, and regulating the cycles of carbon and nutrients in forest ecosystems (Harmon et al., 1986; Müller et al., 2020; Seibold, 2021). The slow decomposition rate of deadwood secures a continuous supply of organic materials to soils, which increases microbial activities and improves physicochemical properties in the underlying soil (Minnich et al., 2021; Moghimian et al., 2017). Currently, carbon stored in deadwood accounts for 8 % of the global forest carbon stock and is almost twice as much as that in leaf litter (Pan et al., 2011).
Effects of forest canopy density and epixylic vegetation on nutrient concentrations in decaying logs of a subalpine fir forest
2022, Forest EcosystemsCitation Excerpt :Coarse woody debris (CWD) accounts for approximately 30% of the global forest carbon (C) stocks (Pan et al., 2011; Seibold, 2021), and its decomposition promotes biodiversity and soil fertility in forest ecosystems (Harmon et al., 1986; Botting and DeLong, 2009; Oghimian et al., 2017).
Emergent properties of downed woody debris in canopy gaps: A response of the soil ecosystem to manipulation of forest structure
2020, Soil Biology and BiochemistryCitation Excerpt :However, this effect was restricted to advanced decay stages in gaps. These results are consistent with other studies reporting greater microbial activity associated with DWD in later decay stages (Błońska et al., 2017; Gonzalez-Polo et al., 2013; Moghimian et al., 2017). Elevated enzyme production may reflect an increased demand for nutrients as vegetation in gaps grow rapidly in high light, creating local nutrient limitations that lead to increased enzyme secretion (Burns et al., 2013).
