Underestimation of boreal forest soil carbon stocks related to soil classification and drainage

The carbon balance of forest soils: detectability of changes in soil carbon stocks in temperate and Boreal forests.

Estimating soil carbon content as the product of mean carbon concentration and bulk density can result in considerable overestimation. Carbon concentration and soil mass need to be measured on the same sample and carbon contents calculated for each individual sample before averaging. The effect of this bias is likely to be smaller (but still greater than zero) when the primary objective is to d...

Assessing log extraction related soil disturbance and solutions to protect soil and reduce disturbance of forest ecosystem.

Skid trails are the main routes for wood extraction and also the main source of runoff and sediment production in Forests. This research was conducted in Kuhmiyan forest of Golestan Province to determine infiltration, compaction, strength (resistance to penetration) and moisture content in three treatment including control (in the forest), wheel ruts and middle of skid trail were measured in th...
