This result suggests that even the most mature forest stands are valuable carbon sinks, and implies that forest management decisions that include longer harvest rotation cycles are likely to favor higher levels of aboveground carbon storage in this system.

This study was designed to monitor the responses of soil nematodes to different levels of aboveground herbivory and to test the hypothesis that the low level of aboveground herbivory facilitates soil nematode activities and high herbivory suppresses soil nematode activities.

The results suggested that dead tree and downed log recruitment, as well as maintenance of high levels of aboveground biomass, under SCE had a particularly strong effect on fungal diversity.

Our results suggest that a variety of long-term recovery pathways converge on high levels of aboveground carbon storage, including both conifer plantations and naturally regenerated hardwood stands, but silvicultural management can dramatically alter those trajectories.

These patterns of partitioning may be reflective of the increased nutrient demands required to sustain the elevated levels of aboveground net primary production found in plantation systems [19], particularly on sites with lower nutrient capital such as in those found across the southeastern US.

Initial conditions for pre-encroachment aboveground C was set at the level of aboveground C estimated from the HSC plots.

This high level of aboveground biomass, diversity, and net primary production [ 4] is inextricably linked and allows for more efficient biogeochemical cycling [ 5].

The volume strategy scenario shows an early drop in carbon storage levels resulting from timber harvesting, followed by relatively constant level of aboveground biomass in the first half of the study period and an increase in timber stock levels during the second half of the study period.

At the end of the study period, the carbon stock levels of the aboveground and belowground biomass stand well below the initial levels.

Recent research has shown that willow has considerable potential for the phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated land and has the capacity to accumulate elevated levels of Cd in aboveground biomass compartments [ 4, 5].
