Low quality evidence dominates discussion of carbon benefits of alternative grazing strategies

This study reviews and analyzes the impact of alternative grazing strategies on soil organic carbon, finding no significant changes in high-quality studies but potential gains in lower-quality ones.

Tree microbiomes and methane exchange in upland forests

The paper measures methane fluxes and microbial communities in upland forest trees and soils, finding widespread methanogenesis in wood and its role in net methane emissions.

A diverse and distinct microbiome inside living trees

The paper explores the microbiome within living trees, revealing distinct microbial communities in heartwood and sapwood, and highlights their ecological significance.

Local controls modify the effects of timber harvesting on surface soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics

The paper examines how local factors like topography and soil type influence surface soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics after timber harvesting in a second-growth forest.
