A general physiologically driven representation of leaf turnover in grasslands in the QUINCY land surface model (revision: 974a6b7f)

Abstract. Terrestrial vegetation plays an important role in shaping the Earth's climate due to its control on the global carbon cycle. Understanding and predicting vegetation phenology and biomass turnover into soil organic matter is therefore of great importance for our understa...

Long-Term Reindeer Exclusion Leads to Higher Carbon Storage and Less Recalcitrant Carbon Compounds in Boreal Forest Soils

Abstract Dry and unproductive Scots pine forests in the northern boreal forest zone provide conditions where ground-dwelling lichens can thrive. These lichens are a crucial winter forage for reindeer. Reindeer reduce lichen biomass both by consumption and trampling, leading to ca...
