Release of coarse woody detritus-related carbon: a synthesis across forest biomes

Abstract Background Recent increases in forest tree mortality should increase the abundance coarse woody detritus (CWD) and ultimately lead to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, the time course of carbon release from CWD is not well understood. We compiled CWD decomposition rate-constant...
