Soil microorganisms have numerous functional roles in forest ecosystems, including: serving
as sources and sinks of key nutrients and catalysts of nutrient transformations; acting as …

In this chapter, a biochar classifi cation system related to its use as a soil amendment is
proposed. This document builds upon previous work: Standardized product defi nition and …

Fire is the primary form of disturbance in temperate and boreal forest ecosystems. However,
our knowledge of the biochemical mechanisms by which fire stimulates forest N cycling is …

Leaf area index (LAI) is an extremely important structural characteristic of vegetation because
it is directly related to the exchange of energy, CO 2 and mass from plant canopies at a …

All forest fire events generate some quantity of charcoal, which may persist in soils for hundreds
to thousands of years. However, few studies have effectively evaluated the potential for …

Adolescence is often characterised by changes in sleep patterns, with reports that the average
adolescent does not get the recommended sleep time. Recent qualitative research has …

We examined the effects of increasing grain size from 20 m to 1100 m on landscape
parameters characterizing spatial structure in the northern Wisconsin lake district. We examined …

Organic materials including a peat‐mineral mix (PM), a forest floor‐mineral mix (L/S), and a
combination of the two (L/PM) were used to cap mineral soil materials at surface mine …

Forest floor chemistry and microbial communities can be influenced by forest land management,
such as harvesting and prescribed burning. Here, we used phospholipid fatty acid (…

Optical probes operating in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1,000-1,700 nm),
where tissues are highly transparent, have expanded the applicability of fluorescence in the …
