Above- and belowground ecosystem biomass, carbon and nitrogen allocation in recently afforested grassland and adjacent intensively managed grassland
Peichl, Matthias; Leava, Natalie Anne; Kiely, Gerard
Abstract
Conclusions A significant change in total ecosystem C and N following afforestation of this intensively managed grassland was not observed. Nevertheless, this study highlights immediate implications from such land-use change activities on biomass, C and N reallocation among the above- and belowground ecosystem pools which may subsequently affect ecosystem biogeochemical cycles.
