Labile carbon retention compensates for CO2 released by priming in forest soils
Na Qiao,Na Qiao,Douglas Schaefer,Evgenia Blagodatskaya,Evgenia Blagodatskaya,Xiaoming Zou,Xiaoming Zou,Xingliang Xu,Xingliang Xu,Yakov Kuzyakov,Yakov Kuzyakov +10 more
TL;DR: Higher continuous input of C belowground by plants under warming or elevated CO2 can increase C stocks in soil despite accelerated C cycling by priming in soils, even though priming accelerates decomposition of native SOC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric deposition and net retention of ions by the canopy in a tropical montane forest, Monteverde, Costa Rica
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured meteorological variables, bulk cloud water and precipitation (BCWP), and bulk precipitation (BP) were measured above the canopy, and throughfall (TF; n = 20) was collected beneath an epiphyte-laden canopy of a tropical tropical montane forest (TMF) for 1 y at Monteverde, Costa Rica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass and nutrient pools of canopy and terrestrial components in a primary and a secondary montane cloud forest, Costa Rica
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the biomass and nutrient capital of canopy-dwelling and terrestrially rooted components of a primary and an adjacent secondary montane forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica.
Journal ArticleDOI
The failure of nitrogen and lignin control of decomposition in a North American desert.
TL;DR: There was no correlation between mass loss in surface bags that were field exposed for 1 month and actual evapotranspiration (AET) but there was a correlation between AET and mass losses in buried litter.
Journal ArticleDOI
The episodic acidification of Adirondack Lakes during snowmelt
TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum values of acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) in Adirondack, New York lake outlets generally occur during summer and autumn, and during spring snowmelt, transport of acidic water through acid sensitive watersheds causes depression of upper lake water ANC.
