However, the effects of disturbance on soil CO2 efflux in the vast Siberian forests are still poorly understood. We used the LI…

Heartwood and carbon in NW Russian pine trees
Heartwood (HW) has a major proportion of a tree trunk, compared with its outer sapwood (SW). Researchers investigated the carbon accumulation to understand the depths of carbon sequestration in pine species in north-western Russia. They mentioned that 64% of the forests of Russian Karelia are Scots Pine which they compared across lingonberry (30% Karelia, 42%…
