Evaluating the ecosystem services and disservices provided by Mediterranean woodlands
Forest regeneration and tree planting have been promoted as means to mitigate climate change through carbon fixation, and as options to restore biodiversity to exploited landscapes. However, the regulating services that forests provide are not limited to the carbon cycle, and the effects of forest …

The Effects of Mechanical Site Preparation Treatment and Species Selection on Survival and Carbon Pools in 12-Year-Old American Sycamore (<i>Platanus occidentalis</i>) and Willow Oak (<i>Quercus phellos</i>) Riparian Plantations in the Southeastern U.S. Piedmont
… carbon sequestration. In recent years, riparian forests have received increased attention and funding for riparian forest restoration projects. Unfortunately, failures of riparian restoration efforts are likely due to mortality of planted trees. Tree mortality is commonly attributable to several …

Tradeoffs Between Aboveground and Soil Carbon Accumulation Following Forestation
… some conditions, soil carbon decreases following forestation, offsetting the carbon accumulated aboveground and rendering carbon sequestration efforts ineffective. The factors driving these changes in net ecosystem carbon are currently unknown. Here, we conducted a global meta-analysis on the …

Firestorms in a mesic savanna-forest mosaic
Forests and savannas in a savanna-forest mosaic are maintained by positive feedback loops with fires, promoting fires in savannas and excluding fires in forests. Occasional extreme fires do however burn into forest edges and cause extensive mortality. So, while our understanding of bistability in …
