Response of Soil Surface Respiration to Storm and <i>Ips typographus</i> (L.) Disturbance in Boreal Norway Spruce Stands

Response of Soil Surface Respiration to Storm and <i>Ips typographus</i> (L.) Disturbance in Boreal Norway Spruce Stands

Disturbances such as storm events and bark beetle outbreaks can have a major influence on forest soil carbon (C) cycling. Both autotrophic and heterotrophic soil respiration may be affected by the increase in tree mortality. We studied the effect of a storm in 2010 followed by an outbreak of the Eur...
