Variable General Info
| Initial carbon stock (fine roots litter) | Initial carbon stock (foliage litter) |
Litter type ?Comment:Foliage and fine roots litter is further subdivided by general tree species type (conifer or broadleaves). The five forest sites are reported to be dominated by one of three tree species; Norway Spruce (Picea abies), European Beech (Fagus sylvatica), and Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa). |
Precipitation ?Comment:Annual mean throughfall. |
Temperature (air) ?Comment:Air temperature was not reported, however, annual mean soil temperature was measured at 5 cm depth. |
