    Sustained Three-Year Declines in Forest Soil Respiration are Proportional to Disturbance Severity

    Soil respiration (Rs) is the largest outward flux of carbon (C) from terrestrial ecosystems, accounting for more than half of total temperate forest C loss. Evaluating the drivers of this globally important flux,...

    Decadal forest soil respiration following stem girdling

    Large-scale stem-girdling experiment reduced soil respiration for five consecutive years. Timing and magnitude of soil respiration declines are better explained by changes in leaf area rather t...

    Forest Structural Complexity and Biomass Predict First-Year Carbon Cycling Responses to Disturbance

    The pre-disturbance vegetation characteristics that predict carbon (C) cycling responses to disturbance are not well known. To address this gap, we initiated the Forest Resilience Threshold Experiment, a manip...

    Effects of canopy structure and species diversity on primary production in upper Great Lakes forests

    Canopy structure and tree species diversity, shaped by succession, disturbance, and community composition, are linked to numerous ecosystem functions, including net primary production (NPP). Understanding of h...
