Wood-decaying fungi in the forest: conservation needs and management options (2007, background): “…of CWD are a source of uncertainty in the role of terrestrial ecosystems as global carbon sinks (Krankina and Harmon 1995; Yin 1999; Chambers et al. 2000; Liski et al. 2003; Mackensen et al. 2003; Yatskov et al. 2003; Hood et al. 2004; Laiho and Prescott 2004; Edman et al. 2006; Liu et al. 2006).”
Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis from a coupled 3-PG and soil organic matter decomposition model (2008, background): “…appropriate version for coupling to 3-PG as it allows different tree components (e.g., root and leaf detritus) to have different decomposition rates (Berg and Ekbohm, 1993; Titus and Malcolm, 1999; Hyvönen et al., 2000; Mäkelä and Vanninen, 2000; Janssens et al., 2002; Laiho and Prescott, 2004).”
Linking litter decomposition of above‐ and below‐ground organs to plant–soil feedbacks worldwide (2013, background): “…debris on nutrient cycling appears minor relative to that of fine plant tissues which are of higher quality and therefore decompose much faster (Laiho & Prescott 2004), its indirect effects on environmental conditions for decomposition of fine litters are potentially large (Harmon et al. 1986;…”
