| Abstract: | Background Coarse and fine woody debris are substantial forest ecosystem carbon stocks; however, there is a lack of understanding how
these detrital carbon stocks vary across forested landscapes. Because forest woody detritus production and decay rates may
partially depend on climatic conditions, the accumulation of coarse and fine woody debris carbon stocks in forests may be
correlated with climate. This study used a nationwide inventory of coarse and fine woody debris in the United States to examine
how these carbon stocks vary by climatic regions and variables. |
