Increased temperatures contribute to early aging of plantation-grown Mongolian pine in introduced areas at lower latitudes
A decline in tree growth has occurred in numerous regions over recent decades and is associated with enhanced water deficits driven by climate...

Afforestation with an age-sequence of Mongolian pine plantation promotes soil microbial residue accumulation in the Horqin Sandy Land, China
Land use change affects the balance of organic carbon (C) reserves and the global C cycle. Microbial residues are essential constituents of stable...

Aging Mongolian pine plantations face high risks of drought-induced growth decline: evidence from both individual tree and forest stand measurements
Discerning vulnerability differences among different aged trees to drought-driven growth decline or to mortality is critical to implement...

Analyzing moisture self-diffusion coefficient and pore characteristics in Mongolian scots pine using single-sided NMR
In this study, single-sided nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to detect the changes of axial and radial tangential moisture...
-
Mongolian pine forest decline by the combinatory effect of European woodwasp and plant pathogenic fungi
Interactions between the decline of Mongolian pine woodlands and fungal communities and invasive pests in northeastern China are poorly understood....
-
Microbial properties determine dynamics of topsoil organic carbon stocks and fractions along an age-sequence of Mongolian pine plantations
PurposeAfforestation is increasingly recognized as an effective measure to mitigate elevated atmospheric carbon (C) dioxide and combat climate...
