“…A single regression curve was calculated because the curve satisfactorily described the relationship between stem basal area and fresh mass for most trees [28][29]. A strong correlation between hazelnut biomass and stem height and diameter at the stem base was found in Slovenia [30]. According to data obtained in Niepoĺomice Forest in Poland, species composition of the stand was not the factor mostly affecting underbrush biomass [31].…”

“…However, few landscape-level SOC stock data sets are available for agroforestry systems in karst areas, despite their high representation in Europe and worldwide (e.g. Rivera et al 2000;Wang et al 2004;Vidrih et al 2009). In karst areas, SOC stock calculations heavily depend on visual stoniness assessment in the field, which may be uncertain.…”

Little is known on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in karst areas worldwide, although many of them have seen long-term application of agroforestry systems with a potential for carbon sequestration. Therefore, our study aimed to assess landscape-level SOC concentration and stock in the Silica Plateau, a part of the Slovak Karst Biosphere Reserve located in the Western Carpathians (Slovakia) with a centuries-long agroforestry record. The most represented local soil units are Chromi-Rendzic Leptosols and Chromic Cambisols with clayey loam texture, C/N ratio 9-12, and pH H 2 O 6.6-6.2 in their organo-mineral surface horizons. Mull surface humus form prevails under mixed forest stands dominated by hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.), oak (Quercus petraea L.), and beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). A total of 2,700 soil samples were collected from 150 soil pits. Both SOC concentrations and stocks were determined for the 0-60 cm mineral soil layer. Soil stoniness was accounted for by means of electrical resistivity tomography. According to the analysis of covariance, cropland SOC concentration (0.026 g g -1 ) is significantly lower compared to forestland (0.040 g g -1 ) and pastureland (0.041 g g -1 ) (P \ 0.01). During the period of 130 years after forest clearing, cropland SOC stock has been reduced at an exponential decay rate of ca 0.002 year -1 , while the SOC stock in pastureland has increased following land use change from cropland by approximately 30% during the same period of time. Irrespective of land use history, overall SOC stock is high reaching on average 207.4 Mg ha -1 , out of which 66% are stored within 0-30 cm and 34% within 30-60 cm soil layers.

“…Harris et al (2006) adopted this approach in their analysis of a large sample of photometric SDSS WDs by assuming log g = 8, although it is undoubtedly overly prescriptive to deny any possibility that a WD's surface gravity deviates from this fiducial value. None the less, this is more realistic than the alternative of treating all log g values as equally likely a priori; this assumption was made by (Vidrih et al 2007, hereafter V07) in their analysis of a (different) photometric SDSS WD sample. Both Harris et al (2006) and V07 identified possible halo WDs, although the existence of a strong parameter degeneracy means that the identification of outliers on the basis of best‐fitting parameter estimates is likely to yield large numbers of spurious candidates.…”

Photometric constraints on white dwarfs and the identification of extreme objects

It is possible to reliably identify white dwarfs (WDs) without recourse to spectra, instead using photometric and astrometric measurements to distinguish them from main-sequence stars and quasars. WDs' colours can also be used to infer their intrinsic properties (effective temperature, surface gravity, etc.), but the results obtained must be interpreted with care. The difficulties stem from the existence of a solid angle degeneracy, as revealed by a full exploration of the likelihood, although this can be masked if a simple best-fitting approach is used. Conversely, this degeneracy can be broken if a Bayesian approach is adopted, as it is then possible to utilize the prior information on the surface gravities of WDs implied by spectroscopic fitting. The benefits of such an approach are particularly strong when applied to outliers, such as the candidate halo and ultracool WDs identified by Vidrih et al. A reanalysis of these samples confirms their results for the latter sample, but suggests that most of the halo candidates are thick-disc WDs in the tails of the photometric noise distribution.
