Forests, Volume 16, Issue 4

The intensification of global climate change, combined with increasing human activities, has significantly increased wildfire frequency and severity, posing a major global environmental challenge. As an illustration, Guizhou Province in China encount...

Forest road networks are essential for forest operations but significantly contribute to carbon loss and landscape fragmentation in boreal ecosystems. This study evaluates the potential of reforesting unused forest roads to enhance carbon storage (CS...

This study aims to evaluate the growth characteristics of six Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) provenances (S1–S6) from different climatic regions in subtropical China in order to select superior provenances with strong adapt...

Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is generated from the incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels. Pyrogenic carbon is highly stable and is often referred to as a missing carbon sink. It plays a crucial role in global carbon cycling and climate change r...

In Vietnam, models for estimating Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) to predict carbon stock are primarily based on diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height (H), and wood density (WD). However, remote sensing has increasingly been recognized as a cost-ef...

Nitrogen deposition can significantly impact soil biogeochemical cycling; however, its effects on the decomposition processes and nutrient release from leaf and twig litter in subtropical plantations remain inadequately understood. In this study, we...

Regenerating conifers after harvest through planting and postharvest broadcast application of herbicide is effective in ensuring the survival and growth of seedlings, but faces challenges in meeting broad social and ecological objectives of forest ma...

We developed a model for estimating the carbon storage and volume of entire forest stands at the provincial level, aiming to improve the accuracy of regional productivity assessments. Based on data from the branches, roots, leaves, and trunks of eigh...

Green spaces in waterfront residential blocks, where the water landscape and green space intersect, have a special carbon sequestration effect due to the distinct ecological interaction between water bodies and green spaces. Studying the carbon seque...

This study investigates the vibrational and acoustic properties of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) and Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia Roxb.), two common musical instrument woods, at moisture contents of 2%, 7%, and 12%. The specim...
