Impact of site-preparation on soil-surface CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes and litter decomposition in a clear-cut in Sweden

Boreal forest soil contains significant amounts of organic carbon. Soil disturbance, caused for example by site preparation or stump extraction, may increase decomposition and thus lead to higher CO emissions, contributing to global warming. The aim of this study was to quantify responses...
