Forest soil carbon stock decreases for up to 30 years, with up to 23%, following clear-cutting, according to a major study from the Nordic countries and Canada. @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social @nibiolandskap.bsky.social @luke.fi @cjohannesson.bsky.social www.nina.no/english/Abou...

If you are interested how long it takes for forest soil C to recover from clear-cut, check our new paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @luke.fi @nibiolandskap.bsky.social @holisoils.bsky.social

En ny litteraturstudie gir oversikt over hvordan flatehogst påvirker arter som lever i boreale skogøkosystemer. "Vi ser at mange av samfunnene av sopp, insekter, lav og moser ikke har klart å komme seg igjen selv 50 til 80 år etter flatehogst", sier Lisa Fagerli Lunde. www.nmbu.no/forskning/fl...

Species interactions can have cascading effects on metacommunity dynamics. Nenzén et al. show how temporal presence-absence data can be combined with experimental data to identify which species impact the colonization-extinction dynamics of others. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

NINA-researchers found almost 400 fungal species new to Norway or science, among them the "jelly raspberry candy mushroom" and mini volcanoes. Om gelebringebærgodterisopp, minivulkaner og nærmest 400 nye (for Norge eller vitenskap) sopparter NINA-forskerne har funnet. www.nina.no/Om-NINA/Aktu...

New paper (review) out led by Lisa Fagerli Lunde: Towards repeated clear-cutting of boreal forests – a tipping point for biodiversity? (Unfortunately behind paywall, inform if you would like a pdf). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Lunde et al. review the short- & long-term effects of clear-cutting on boreal forest biodiversity in four key substrates: living trees, dead wood, ground and soil. They include also the effects of habitat fragmentation on this biodiversity. Project #EcoForest onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Madsen et al. show that in mature boreal forests, previously clear-cut stands had higher soil respiration rates and greater tree litterfall but smaller understorey litterfall C inputs than near-natural stands. The C flux balances were similar in the stand types. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
