Consequences of More Intensive Forestry for the Sustainable Management of Forest Soils and Waters (2011, background): “may further increase ecosystem C sequestration as these inputs in some cases can have a retarding effect on the decomposition of soil organic matter [28,29].”
Fungal community on decomposing leaf litter undergoes rapid successional changes (2012, background): “Decomposition of plant litter is a key step in nutrient recycling (Berg et al., 2001).”
Long‐term patterns of mass loss during the decomposition of leaf and fine root litter: an intersite comparison (2009, background): “However, the long-term studies (e.g. Aber et al., 1990; Magill & Aber, 1998; Berg et al., 2001; Trofymow et al., 2002; Moore et al., 2005) that have been conducted suggest that in later stages rates of decomposition slow to a degree beyond that captured by a single-exponential decomposition curve.”
Tamm Review: On the nature of the nitrogen limitation to plant growth in Fennoscandian boreal forests (2017, background): “There are also tree-species related variations in amounts of soil organic material produced on the same site (Berg et al., 2001), which could affect the balance between ECM fungi and saprotrophic fungi and hence the extent to which ECM fungi will immobilize N under different plant species mixtures (”
