Sources of errors and uncertainties in the assessment of forest soil carbon stocks at different scales—review and recommendations
Elena Vanguelova,Eleonora Bonifacio,B. De Vos,M. R. Hoosbeek,Torsten W. Berger,Lars Vesterdal,Kęstutis Armolaitis,Luisella Celi,Lucian Dinca,O. J. Kjønaas,Pavel Pavlenda,Jukka Pumpanen,Ülle Püttsepp,Brian Reidy,Primož Simončič,Brian Tobin,Miglena Zhiyanski +16 more
TL;DR: This review identifies where potential sources of errors and uncertainties related to forest SOC stock estimation occur at five different scales—sample, profile, plot, landscape/regional and European, and recommends how to reduce forest SOC uncertainties and increase efficiency of SOC assessment at each scale.

Variation in irradiance, soil features and regeneration patterns in experimental forest canopy gaps
TL;DR: In this paper, European beech, sycamore maple and silver fir were investigated in relation to irradiance, ground vegetation and soil features to identify conditions for successful natural regeneration in mixed forests.
Response of ectomycorrhizal community structure to gap opening in natural and managed temperate beech-dominated forests
Tine Grebenc,Tine Grebenc,Morten ChristensenM. Christensen,Morten ChristensenM. Christensen,Urša Vilhar,Urša Vilhar,Matjaž Čater,Matjaž Čater,María P. Martín,María P. Martín,Primož Simončič,Primož Simončič,Hojka Kraigher,Hojka Kraigher +13 more
TL;DR: A significant reduction of diversity indices, ectomycorrhizal and fine root dynamics, in gaps in comparison with closed canopy stands indicates an effect of forest management practice and the high importance of maintaining and protecting natural forest areas for conservation of soil biodiversity and forest genetic resources.

TL;DR: The authors explored the relationship between the exceedance of critical loads and inorganic nitrogen concentration, the base cation to aluminium ratio in soil solutions, as well as the nutritional status of trees.
Influence of soil properties on silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) growth in the Dinaric Mountains
TL;DR: In this paper, the contribution of soil properties to the growth of silver fir (Abies alba mill) was studied in the Dinaric Mountains, which are characterised by abundant sinkholes and limestone outcrops, resulting in diverse micro topography and different soil development at small spatial scales.
