Wood ash, a by‐product of biomass combustion, has increasingly attracted attention as a sustainable soil amendment in forest ecosystems. Its application can counteract soil acidification, replenish ...

The soils of northern forests are key reservoirs that help keep the carbon dioxide that trees inhale and use for photosynthesis from making it back into the atmosphere. The soils of northern forests ...

A recent study shows that Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs), through their high nutrient and microbiological contents, could help to restore deforested areas in the Amazon region. Furthermore, these unique ...

A new study published in Forest Ecosystems sheds light on how carbon is stored in forest soils across eastern China, offering valuable insights into forest carbon sequestration and its role in climate ...

Some forest fungi tear down and reuse their own threadlike networks, potentially reshaping how forests store carbon over time ...

American forests are important sources of carbon sequestration, storing millions of tons of carbon dioxide each year. However, a unique experiment led by Peter Reich, University of Michigan professor ...

Distribution of sampling sites in the global dataset on tree diversity and forest soil N 2 O flux, constructed via meta-analysis and field observation data (a); Linear relationship between tree ...

A study on 'canopy soils' on old trees in Costa Rica shows they are important habitats and carbon stores that cannot easily be replaced. In certain trees, soils can form along branches and can support ...

On a cool spring morning in a northern forest, the ground feels soft underfoot. Mist hangs between the trunks, and the air smells of wet leaves and old humus; the slow alchemy that keeps a forest ...

Restoring ecosystems after mining is one of the toughest environmental challenges, particularly when soils are rebuilt from crushed rock with little ...
