Co-located ecological data for exploring top- and subsoil carbon dynamics across grassland-woodland contrasts Open
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a soil health indicator and understanding dynamics changing SOC stocks will help achieving net zero goals. Here we present four datasets featuring 11,750 data points covering co-located aboveground and below-gr…

Reading tea leaves worldwide: Decoupled drivers of initial litter decomposition mass‐loss rate and stabilization Open
The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large‐scale datasets. We burie…

Soil change and broadleaf tree growth 10 years after wood ash and brash co-application to a clearfelled lowland conifer site in Britain Open
Wood ash use, to raise pH and replace nutrients lost through forest harvesting, is well regulated in Scandinavia and Canada, but not yet in the UK. This experiment applied granulated wood ash from mixed tree thinnings to a lowland clay min…

Physiological and climate controls on foliar mercury uptake by European tree species Open
Despite the importance of vegetation uptake of atmospheric gaseous elemental mercury (Hg(0)) within the global Hg cycle, little knowledge exists on the physiological, climatic, and geographic factors controlling stomatal uptake of atmosphe…

Long Term Trends of Base Cation Budgets of Forests in the UK to Inform Sustainable Harvesting Practices Open
There is growing concern in the UK that available base cation pools in soil are declining due to the combined effects of acid deposition and forest harvesting. To help inform the issue, elemental mass balances for calcium (Ca), magnesium (…

Contrasting Resource Dynamics in Mast Years for European Beech and Oak—A Continental Scale Analysis Open
Resource allocation to different plant tissues is likely to be affected by high investment into fruit production during mast years. However, there is a large knowledge gap concerning species-specific differences in resource dynamics. We in…

Looking for Earthworms in Deadwood Open
Fallen branches, logs, and tree stumps are a valuable habitat in forests, giving food and shelter to many organisms, including earthworms. Unfortunately, deadwood is often removed from forests because its value is not fully appreciated. We…

Impact of pollen on throughfall biochemistry in European temperate and boreal forests Open
<p>Pollen is known to affect forest throughfall biochemistry, but underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We used generalized additive mixed modelling to study the relationship between long-term series of measured throughfall…
