The research question was based on the fact that both microclimate and the drought sensitivity of stemwood production were earlier shown to differ with stand size and isolation in this ecotone. Contrary to our hypothesis, we did not find significant differences in the organic carbon stock densities of the tree biomass and the mineral soil. The depth, carbon content and carbon stock density of the organic layer increased with stand size, but was not a major determinant of total ecosystem carbon stock density. Nevertheless, the increasing depth and the increasing humus content of the organic layer with stand size could be significant by improving moisture availability and, thus, promoting forest regeneration. Furthermore, reduced organic layer thickness and humus content and thus water storage capacity could be one out of several causes of the previously observed higher drought vulnerability of stemwood formation in small forest stands of the Mongolian forest-steppe. A mean carbon stock density of 237 Mg C ha⁻¹ for total ecosystem organic carbon stock density matches with earlier estimates for Mongolia's boreal forest corroborating the view that the ecosystem carbon pool density at the southern edge of the boreal forest is lower compared to forests at higher latitudes with even colder climate and deeper and more widespread permafrost."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.foreco.2018.10.054"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61718"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.issn","0378-1127"],["dc.title","Effects of forest fragmentation on organic carbon pool densities in the Mongolian forest-steppe"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, such an analysis does not yet exist for the southernmost Eurosiberian boreal forests in Inner Asia. Most of these forests are located in the Mongolian forest-steppe, which is largely dominated by Larix sibirica. We quantified the carbon stock density and total carbon pool of Mongolia's boreal forests and adjacent grasslands and draw conclusions on possible future change. Mean aboveground carbon stock density in the interior of L. sibirica forests was 66 Mg C ha−1, which is in the upper range of values reported from boreal forests and probably due to the comparably long growing season. The density of soil organic carbon (SOC, 108 Mg C ha−1) and total belowground carbon density (149 Mg C ha−1) are at the lower end of the range known from boreal forests, which might be the result of higher soil temperatures and a thinner permafrost layer than in the central and northern boreal forest belt. Land use effects are especially relevant at forest edges, where mean carbon stock density was 188 Mg C ha−1, compared with 215 Mg C ha−1 in the forest interior. Carbon stock density in grasslands was 144 Mg C ha−1. Analysis of satellite imagery of the highly fragmented forest area in the forest-steppe zone showed that Mongolia's total boreal forest area is currently 73 818 km2, and 22% of this area refers to forest edges (defined as the first 30 m from the edge). The total forest carbon pool of Mongolia was estimated at ~ 1.5−1.7 Pg C, a value which is likely to decrease in future with increasing deforestation and fire frequency, and global warming."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/gcb.13127"],["dc.identifier.fs","617128"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/10601"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1365-2486"],["dc.relation.issn","1354-1013"],["dc.title","Carbon pool densities and a first estimate of the total carbon pool in the Mongolian forest-steppe"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We asked whether forest size and isolation in fragmented woodlands influences the climate warming sensitivity of tree growth in the southern boreal forest of the Mongolian Larix sibirica forest steppe, a naturally fragmented woodland embedded in grassland, which is highly affected by warming, drought, and increasing anthropogenic forest destruction in recent time. We examined the influence of stand size and stand isolation on the growth performance of larch in forests of four different size classes located in a woodland-dominated forest-steppe area and small forest patches in a grassland-dominated area. We found increasing climate sensitivity and decreasing first-order autocorrelation of annual stemwood increment with decreasing stand size. Stemwood increment increased with previous year's June and August precipitation in the three smallest forest size classes, but not in the largest forests. In the grassland-dominated area, the tree growth dependence on summer rainfall was highest. Missing ring frequency has strongly increased since the 1970s in small, but not in large forests. In the grassland-dominated area, the increase was much greater than in the forest-dominated landscape. Forest regeneration decreased with decreasing stand size and was scarce or absent in the smallest forests. Our results suggest that the larch trees in small and isolated forest patches are far more susceptible to climate warming than in large continuous forests pointing to a grim future for the forests in this strongly warming region of the boreal forest that is also under high land use pressure."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/gcb.13750"],["dc.identifier.pmid","28470864"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12611"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1365-2486"],["dc.title","Higher climate warming sensitivity of Siberian larch in small than large forest islands in the fragmented Mongolian forest steppe"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
