Abstract:
... This paper reports basic features of the 137Cs uptake by forest-derived products in the Gomel region. Even with the soil contamination density of 37 kBq m−2 the radionuclide contents in 20–30% of mushrooms and berries were found to be higher than the admissible levels. The 137Cs contamination density of soil, site type and meteorological parameters were observed as the major factors which govern t ...

Abstract:
... AIMS: The contribution of boreal forest plants to the methane (CH₄) cycle is still uncertain. We studied the above and belowground CH₄ fluxes of common boreal plants, and assessed the possible contribution of CH₄ producing and oxidizing microbes (methanogens and methanotrophs, respectively) to the fluxes. METHODS: We measured the CH₄ fluxes and the amounts of methanogens and methanotrophs in the a ...

Abstract:
... Snow regimes affect biogeochemistry of boreal ecosystems and are altered by climate change. The effects on plant communities, however, are largely unexplored despite their influence on relevant processes. Here, the impact of snow cover on understory community composition and below-ground production in a boreal Picea abies forest was investigated using a long-term (8-year) snow cover manipulation e ...

In order to better understand the structure and composition of forest plant communities, we aimed to predict the abundance of understory herbaceous species locally at the stand level and according to different environments. For this, we seeked to model species distributions of abundance at a regional scale in relationship with the local stand structure (canopy openness) and regional soil resources ...

Abstract:
... The European bilberry, Vaccinium myrtillus L. (Ericaceae), is an important food resource for many mammals, insects and birds in forests, including the threatened capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus). For capercaillie, a sufficient amount of bilberry fruits is crucial to store enough body fat for the winter period. Studies have shown that V. myrtillus reproduction is influenced by canopy openness, but s ...
