Wood decomposition model for boreal forests
(2011-02-10)The decomposition of woody litter is a biochemical process, controlled by physical, chemical and biological environmental conditions. To develop a practicable model of this complex process, it is necessary to identify the ... -
The Yasso07 soil carbon model - Testing against repeated soil carbon inventory
(2012-12-15)Forest soils store large amounts of carbon (C), and releases of C from this pool may significantly increase the CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere. Organic matter decomposition in soils has been shown to strongly depend ... -
Soil carbon model Yasso07 graphical user interface
(2011-11-01)In this article, we present a graphical user interface software for the litter decomposition and soil carbon model Yasso07 and an overview of the principles and formulae it is based on. The software can be used to test the ... -
Impacts of organic amendments on carbon stocks of an agricultural soil - Comparison of model-simulations to measurements
(2012-11-01)Organic amendments such as straw, green manure or farmyard manure are used to mitigate the soil carbon (C) losses from cultivated soils. We investigated the role of various organic amendments with different C quality for ... -
Organic Chemical Characterization of Decomposing Plant Litter : A Comparison of Methods
(2013-12-16)There are two common methods to characterize organic chemical composition of decomposing plant litter, a forest products method and a forage fiber method. These methods divide litter into a few fractions based on extractions ... -
Carbon stock changes of forest land in Finland under different levels of wood use and climate change
(2014-03-01)•Context: Prediction of the effect of harvests and climate change (CC) on the changes in carbon stock of forests is necessary both for CC mitigation and adaptation purposes. •Aims: We assessed the impact of roundwood and ... -
Signals embedded in the radial velocity noise
(EDP Sciences, 2013-04-25)Bayesian data analysis techniques, together with suitable statistical models, can be used to obtain much more information from noisy data than the traditional frequentist methods. For instance, when searching for periodic ... -
Fighting Relativism: Wittgenstein and Kuhn
(Walter de Gruyter, 2017-03)As Ilham Dilman puts it: 'language is the source of the system we find in nature'. There is no conception of reality independent of language. There are at least three problems with this – Kuhn's and Wittgenstein's – way ... -
NPS: Medical Consequences Associated with Their Intake
(Springer Nature Link, 2016-06-07)Over the last decade, the 'traditional' drug scene has been supplemented - but not replaced - by the emergence of a range of novel psychoactive substances (NPS), which are either newly created or existing drugs, including ... -
