Environmental And Stand Variables Influencing Soil CO2 Efflux Across The Managed Range Of Loblolly Pine
Managed loblolly pine forests comprise an important pool in the global carbon cycle. Understanding the influences upon inputs and outputs of this pool, including the effects of management activities, will allow landowners to understand how carbon can be sequestered in their stands. Specific to this …
