Typpilannoitus muuttaa maaperäprosesseja ja kasvattaa maaperän hiilivarastoa. Lannoitettujen alueiden maaperä vapautti noin 10,3 % varastoidusta hiilestä vuodessa, kun taas lannoittamattomat alueet 12,2 % — ero on n 345 g CO2/m2/v vähemmän. www.luke.fi/fi/uutiset/p...

Vähintä ja nopeinta mitä tässä voisi tehdä, on poistaa näiltä reheviltä kohteilta jaksollisen kasvatuksen hakkuuesitykset. Ylipäätään ilman metsänomistajan tavoitteiden tuntemista, viranomaisen ei tulisi ohjata metsänomistajaa mihinkään hakkuisiin.

Our new study by Ťupek et al (doi.org/10.5194/bg-2...) found that N fertilization lowers soil microbial respiration sensitivity to moisture slowing C loss & enhancing soil C storage in boreal forests. N fertilization enhances tree growth and reduces soil GHG emissions @luke.fi @holisoils.bsky.social
Long-term nitrogen fertilization alters microbial respiration sensitivity to temperature and moisture, potentially enhancing soil carbon retention in a boreal Scots pine forest
Abstract. Nutrient availability affects microbial respiration kinetics; their sensitivities to environmental conditions; and, thus, the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. We examined long-term nitrogen...
