Friggens, Nina L.; Hester, Alison J.; Mitchell, Ruth J.; Parker, Thomas C.; Subke, Jens-Arne; Wookey, Philip A. (2020): Tree planting in organic soils does not result in net carbon sequestration on decadal timescales. In Glob Chang Biol 26 (9), pp. 5178–5188. DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15229.
„We show that planting two native tree species (Betula pubescens[nbsp]and[nbsp]Pinus sylvestris), of widespread Eurasian distribution, onto heather (Calluna vulgaris) moorland with podzolic and peaty podzolic soils in Scotland, did not lead to an increase in net ecosystem C stock 12 or 39[nbsp]years after planting.“
