Carbon sequestration in Norwegian spruce forest soils (CONSEQUENCE)
To expand and improve our empirical knowledge on quantitative and qualitative aspects of soil organic carbon(SOC) dynamic in Norwegian forest soils, we will quantify SOC stocks and changes and identify indicators of SOC stability in nine stands of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). The stand represent three typical stages of Norwegian spruce forests: i) recently clear-cut stands, ii) mature planted production forests, and iii) older stands established naturally that have not been actively managed.
