    The Fate of 15N-Labelled Nitrogen Inputs to Coniferous and Broadleaf Forests

    Nitrogen in forest soils is mainly composed of organic N compounds originating from litterfall. During leaf senescence of the forest vegetation, N compounds are either allocated to perennial tissues or remain ...

    Soil Organic Matter in Mediterranean-Type Ecosystems and Global Climatic Changes: A Case Study—The Soils of the Mediterranean Basin

    On a worldwide basis, the soil organic carbon pool is around two to three times the amount of carbon stored in the atmosphere and two to three times that stored in the terrestrial biomass (Bohn, 1982; Rozanov,...

    Atmospheric Co2Increase and Plant Material Quality: Production, Nitrogen Allocation and Litter Decomposition of Sweet Chestnut

    Two-year-old sweet chestnut trees were grown for two other years in a doubled CO2 atmosphere. The result was an increase by 20% of the net production and, as an effect of dilution, a decrease of the nitrogen conc...

    The Effect of Increased Atmospheric Co2 Concentration on the Gowth and Nitrogen Allocation of A Woody Plant (Castanea Sativa Mill.)

    The direct and indirect effects of atmospheric CO2 increase on the plant growth and the functioning of the soils as net source or sink of CO2 arise two fundamental questions: Is the carbon, and especially the nit...
