Different types of trees 🌲die at different rates. Big conifers hold on longer, while small fast-growing types like broadleaf and shade-tolerant species are more likely to die as they mature. Competition and environment decide who makes it.👇

Nitrogen addition affects forest soil carbon in opposite ways: canopy addition reduces certain carbon types, while floor addition increases others. This refines our understanding of forest carbon storage and climate models.😀

Old-growth forests 🌲store lots of carbon and support biodiversity. Recent study of 3,503 tree rings across Europe shows that older forests, especially those with large trees, are crucial for long-term carbon storage, highlighting the need to protect them.👍
