Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in European Forest Ecosystems

The storage of carbon in forest ecosystems has received special attention in the Kyoto prool of the Climate Convention, which attempts to equilibrate fossil fuel emissions with biological sinks. This volume quantifies carbon storage in managed forest ecosystems not only in biomass, but also in all soil compartments. It investigates the interaction between the carbon and nitrogen cycles by working along a north-south transect through Europe which starts in northern Sweden, passes through a N...
