ESTIMATING THE AGE-DEPENDENT CHANGES IN CARBON STOCKS OF SCOTS PINE (PINUS SYLVESTRIS L.) STANDS IN TURKEY
By Marianne Peiffer On 22 April 2016 In Research paper
Simulated and observed carbon stocks in Scots pine forests varied considerably with stand age. The contribution of biomass to the total forest carbon stocks increased and that of dead organic matter decreased with increasing stand age. Abstract

PINUS NIGRA ARN. SSP. SALZMANNII SEEDLING RECRUITMENT IS AFFECTED BY STAND BASAL AREA, SHRUB COVER AND CLIMATE INTERACTIONS
By Marianne Peiffer On 19 April 2016 In Research paper
Shrub cover has visible effects on Pinus nigra Arn ssp. salzmannii seedling emergence, but only in drier years under moderate basal area (25–30 m2 ha−1 ). In the wetter year, shrub cover favours seedling survival without basal

Understory fine roots are more ephemeral than those of trees in subtropical Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook) stands
We tested the life span of fine roots of Chinese fir trees and understory plants in two stands in subtropical China. Fine roots from understory plants were much more ephemeral than those from trees. The life span
