(2009)Large amount of carbon (C) stored in boreal forest ecosystems plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Forest ecosystem C is stored in four major pools: live vegetation (above-and below ground), dead woody ... -
Interactive effects of soil temperature and resource availability on physiological and growth responses of white birch (Betula papyrifera) seedlings to atmospheric carbon dioxide elevation
(2009)Predicting the impacts of future high atmospheric CO2 concentration, [CO2], on the physiology and growth of boreal forests is complicated by interactions of CO2 with other environmental conditions. Two-factor CO2 x environment ... -
