Mercury poisoning has become a problem of current interest as a result of environmental pollution on a global scale. Natural emissions of mercury form two-thirds of the input; manmade releases form about one-third. Considerable amounts of mercury may be added to agricultural land with sludge, f...

of tree crops. Despite that, there remains a limited understanding of the biochar impacts on forest soil, particularly in comparison to agricultural soil (Gogoi et al.2019), including their effects on tree crops. For instance, various studies conducted in different regions have yielded promising ...
Global analysis on annual litterfall ranged between 3 and 11 Mg ha−1, which varied significantly by the forest stand types [26]. In a meta-analysis study, root and leaf litter were reported to account for 48% and 41% of annual litters, respectively [28]. Also, more than 70% of ...
Forest biomass harvesting guidelines help ensure the ecological sustainability of forest residue harvesting for bioenergy and bioproducts, and hence contribute to social license for a growing bioeconomy. Guidelines, typically voluntary, provide a means t
LitterDecompositionLitterfallSystematic quantitative literature reviewIn forest systems, the natural form of nutrient supply is through the litter, which comprises all plant material deposited in the soil. Therefore, the present work aimed to perform a systematic review on the different methodologies used ...
Stand density management and thinning have small effects on forest soil C stocks. • Additional long-term field experiments are needed, particularly in ecosystems other than north-temperate and boreal forests. Abstract Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored...
