“…With similar results to our study, Blanco et al (2006) stated a total litterfall of 3.99 Mg ha −1 for the pole stage of Scots pine stands in Spain. Güner and Özkan (2019) reported that the amount of N was between 23.6 and 188.0 kg ha −1 in the litter of Pinus nigra at different stand development stages. Davis et al (2003) stated that the carbon inputs from coarse woody debris decaying up to the polar stage may be higher.…”

The influence of stand development stages on soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stocks was examined in black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold.), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), and Kazdağı fir (Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojanı (Aschers. & Sint. ex Boiss) Coode et Cullen), differing in the mean tree diameters in which reproduction stages (RS)=<8 cm, sapling or pole stages (SPS)= 8-19.9 cm, large pole stages (LPS)= 20-35.9 cm, and medium wood stages (MWS)=36-51.9 cm in three tree species located in northwestern Turkey. A total of 216 soil samples were collected and analyzed for pH, organic matter, bulk density, maximum water holding capacity, carbon, and nitrogen concentrations, and the SOC and TN stocks were calculated. SOC and TN stocks varied significantly among the four stand development stage classes. The SOC stock at 0-30 cm increased significantly due to an increase in the diameter of black stands (BPLPS and BPMWS). SOC stocks in all stand development stages peaked in the large pole (44.94 Mg/ha) and declined as the sapling or pole (37.71 Mg/ha) was replaced by medium wood stands (30.17 Mg/ha), and a low point (27.94 Mg/ha) was found in the reproduction stages of stand development for Scots pine. The TN stock at a soil depth of 0-30 cm ranged from 1.66 to 6.46 Mg/ha. The highest TN stock was observed in the SPSPS (6.46 Mg/ha) and FirRS (5.48 Mg/ha), and the lowest was observed in the BPLPS (1.66 Mg/ha) stands. The results illustrate that soil was the main storage of C and N in all different stand development stages of tree species.

“…In their study Güner and Makineci (2017) determined the carbon storage amounts of Quercus L. species as 49% in the branch, 49% in the leaf, 49% in the trunk and 48% in the shell. Ritson and Sochacki (2003) found carbon storage amounts in Pinus pinaster species to be 50.6% live branches and leaves and 48.1% in the roots.…”

“…Forests are considered as the most important terrestrial carbon sink areas worldwide (FAO, 2016). Forests, which hold 76-78% of the organic carbon in the terrestrial ecosystem (Borucu, 2014), store large amounts of carbon and play an important role in combating climate change (IPCC, 2007;Miles & Kapos, 2008;Güner & Makineci, 2017). Although our country has a low share in the total CO2 emissions in the world (Karakaya & Sofuoğlu, 2015), many studies are carried out on the protection and development of sink areas, adaptation and reduction in accordance with its international agreements (Türkeş, 2008).…”

Carbon emission is increasing in the world due to exponential growing of population, excessive usage of natural resources which resulted with environmental pollution and decline in biodiversity. Carbon emission as a result of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide rising is the main reason of climate change and global warming. Reducing the amount of CO2 and greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere; is possible by increasing the use of vegetative mass, limit emissions, and increasing the amount of carbon in carbon pools (ocean, soil, vegetation, etc.). In forest ecosystem the soil, biomass and water have essential roles in carbon deposition that is the basic element of carbon dioxide. Since trees have the capacity of storing CO2 via photosynthesis, they execute important functions for the formation of important sinks by deposition of carbon in plant biomass and under the soil. To reduce the amount of carbon emissions in cities, afforestation is made on the roadsides from tree species that deposit exhaust gases and are resistant to difficult conditions. Lindens are trees that have resistance against, winds air pollution and poor quality soils, also tolerant for variable climate conditions, and sensitive for frost and drought. In literature there exists not enough studies that examines carbon sequestration and storage capacity of lindens while there exist some other papers regarding other species such as scotch pine, larch, red pine, cedar, and poplar. In this study we aimed to investigate the possible role of lindens used for arborization of cities for carbon sequestration and storage. This review, in which various articles were discussed, will be informative for those who are interested in the subject.

“…Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important component of the terrestrial carbon pool and is central to the in-depth study of nutrient element cycling in terrestrial ecosystems [1]. Global organic carbon is mainly stored in forest soils, with forest SOC pools accounting for 70-73% of global soil organic carbon pools [2]. SOC is environmentally sensitive and decomposes easily, and the burning of the organic matter soil layer during the fire process decomposes a large amount of soil surface organic carbon, resulting in a direct loss of SOC [3,4].…”

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important component of the ecosystem carbon pool, and fire is one of the important disturbances in forest ecosystems. With global warming, there has been a gradual increase in boreal forest fires, which has a nonnegligible impact on the SOC dynamics in forests. The CENTURY model was employed in our study to simulate the changes in SOC stocks in boreal forests of the Great Xing’an Mountains, China under different fire severity conditions. Fire severity was represented by the metric of difference normalized burn ratio (dNBR) derived from 30-m Landsat-8 imageries. Changes in forest SOC stocks following fire disturbance were predicted under four future Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0, and RCP8.5). We found that the CENTURY model had good results in simulating the SOC stocks in the postfire of China’s boreal forests. Forest SOC dynamics responded differently to fire severities and the larger SOC loss was associated with increasing fire severity. Importantly, a feedback mechanism was found between climate change and SOC stocks, which reduces SOC stocks with increasing temperatures. High-severity forest fires tended to cause serious damage to the SOC pool and delay forest SOC recovery time; after such events, forest SOC stocks cannot be fully recovered to the prefire levels (6.74% loss). In addition, higher CO2 emissions and warmer temperatures significantly affected the recovery of SOC stocks after fire disturbance, resulting in larger SOC losses. Overall, we projected losses of 10.14%, 12.06%, 12.41%, and 15.70% of SOC stocks after high-severity fires in four RCP scenarios, respectively. Our findings emphasize the importance of fire disturbance and climate change on future dynamics of SOC stocks in China’s boreal forests, providing a scientific basis for future boreal forest management and fire management.
