Tropical forests play a significant role in sequestrating and storing atmospheric carbon di-oxide (CO2) emissions. However, estimation of forest carbon (C) stocks in relation to changes in forest structure and disturbances are less studied. We estimated forest C stocks in live trees, saplings, liana...

Abstract Subtropical plantations have been undergoing understory removal and increased plant litter inputs due to global change and anthropogenic activities. However, how understory removal and increased litter inputs affect litter decomposition is still unclear in these plantations. Using a field m...

To understand the reproduction of the pioneer ectomycorrhizal fungi Laccaria amethystina and Laccaria laccata in a volcanic desert on Mount Fuji, Japan, the in situ genet dynamics of sporocarps were analysed. Sporocarps of the two Laccaria species were sampled at fine and large scales for 3 and 2 co...

In forest ecosystems, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are important for plant growth and soil biogeochemical processes. The biochemical composition of ECM mycelium is an important fungal effect trait with consequences for its decomposition rate, and consequently on soil carbon pools and plant nutrition....

The UK distribution of N. melanura is reported, based on records from museum collections, government laboratories and a field survey of wooden marine structures and driftwood along the English and Welsh coastlines. The global distribution is also reported, based on a questionnaire survey. The life c...

Abstract The soil organic carbon (C) cycle is primarily mediated by soil microorganisms and their genes that function in the C cycle (C‐cycle genes), both of which are strongly affected by land cover disturbance. However, the mechanism underlying microbially mediated soil C loss after conversion of ...

Afforestation has been an important approach to mitigate land deterioration and biodiversity reduction. There are increasing interests in understanding the responses of soil microbial communities under long‐term forest restoration, since they play a crucial role in the mediation of ecosystem functio...

Climate Change is strongly jeopardizing the functioning of forest ecosystems and the services they provide for society. To understand the future trajectories of forest ecosystems, we have to assess the past and current state of our forests, and only with large long-term forest monitoring programs su...

Abstract Clear-cutting has been the dominant harvesting method used in boreal forest silviculture. Reducing the potential negative effects of intensive forestry activities on ecosystems, e.g., the simplification and homogenization of stand structure, requires diversifying silvicultural practices to ...

Agarwood is highly prized products in perfumery world. Insect infested wood demands highier price than exported agarwood. A comparative analysis was made among the three categories of agarwood like white wood, screw injected and insect infested agarwood to evaluate the ether extract and total phenol...

A diverse assemblage of fungi is associated with the litter layer found on the forest floor. Many of these are litter-decomposing fungi, which play a major role as functional decomposers, carbon sequesterers and nutrient immobilizers while also serving as both soil stabilizers and biological remedia...

Agarwood (Aquilaria agallocha Roxb.) is one of the most expensive woods in the world. Agar-based enterprises are increasing due to the high demand for agar products worldwide including Bangladesh. Information on the socio-economic condition, silvicultural operation, extraction, processing, marketing...
