“…2c and 3a). Similar results have been reported for other spruce forests (Nilsen and Strand, 2008;Vranova et al, 2009) and other forest ecosystems (Brumme, 1995;Sullivan et al, 2008;Tang et al, 2005b). Reductions in R s rate by forest thinning are linked to thinninginduced changes in microclimate (Galhidy et al, 2006;Gray et al, 2002), substrate availability (Selig et al, 2008;Zu et al, 2009), soil microbes (Arunachalam and Arunachalam, 2000;Zhang and Zak, 1998), and fine roots (Peng and Thomas, 2006;Tang et al, 2005b).…”

“…In addition, management practices, such tree thinning and slash-burning, which are implemented in planted pine forests exert different effects on soil carbon. Studies have reported that management practices such as prescribed fire, mechanical treatment, and thinning do not affect soil carbon stock density (Boerner et al 2008;Liang et al 2013;Nilsen and Strand 2008). However, other studies have reported that management practices do affect soil carbon stock density of planted forests (Tian et al 2010;Wu et al 2013).…”

“…For C content estimations a concentration of 0.49 was used for all tree compartments (bole wood, bark, twigs, needles, dead branches, stump root system) based on earlier investigation (Nilsen and Strand 2008). Tree C storage at experiment level was found by summing C in all compartments for all trees.…”

Carbon stores and fluxes in even-and uneven-aged Norway spruce standsNilsen P., Strand L. T. (2013). Carbon stores and fluxes in even-and uneven-aged Norway spruce stands. Silva Fennica vol. 47 no. 4 article id 1024. 15 p. Highlights• Long term (81 years) C sequestration is slightly higher in an even-aged compared to an uneven-aged spruce stand.• The even-aged stand has at 81 years age a slightly lower soil C content than the uneven-aged stand.• Present C fluxes indicate that the difference in long term C sequestration will increase in favour the even-aged stand if final felling is postponed. AbstractThis investigation compares present C stores, fluxes and historic tree C sequestration in an uneven-aged and an even-aged Norway spruce stand under similar high productive soil conditions in south-eastern Norway. A selection cutting system has been performed in the uneven-aged forest stand for 81 years and the even-aged stand was established after clear-cutting 81 years ago. Timber productivity has been measured in the uneven stand for 81 years and in the even-aged stand for 52 years. C storage was determined based on tree measurements, tree biomass functions, soil samples and C analyses from trees and soil. Litter fall was sampled during one year and CO 2 efflux from the soil was measured during one growing season. The present tree C storage (including roots) was 210 Mg C ha -1 in the even-aged stand and 76 Mg C ha -1 in the uneven-aged stand, while the corresponding figures for C in the soil was 178 and 199 Mg C ha -1 . The long term timber production in the uneven-aged stand was measured to be 95% of the even-aged stand and the difference in net C sequestration was 37 Mg ha -1 in an 81 year period in favour the even-aged stand. The highest present CO 2 efflux from soil was measured in the even-aged stand. The total net C sequestered in trees during 81 years minus the present soil C-stock accounts to 16 Mg ha -1 in favour the even-aged system.
