It is thought that the C storage capacity of the stable pool can be enhanced by increasing forest productivity, but empirical evidence in support of this assumption from forests differing in tree species and productivity, while stocking on similar substrate, is scarce.\r\n \r\n \r\n Methods\r\n We determined the stocks of SOC and macro-nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, potassium and magnesium) in nine paired European beech/Scots pine stands on similar Pleistocene sandy substrates across a precipitation gradient (560–820 mm∙yr− 1) in northern Germany and explored the influence of tree species, forest history, climate, and soil pH on SOC and nutrient pools.\r\n \r\n \r\n Results\r\n While the organic layer stored on average about 80% more C under pine than beech, the pools of SOC and total N in the total profile (organic layer plus mineral soil measured to 60 cm and extrapolated to 100 cm) were greater under pine by about 40% and 20%, respectively. This contrasts with a higher annual production of foliar litter and a much higher fine root biomass in beech stands, indicating that soil C sequestration is unrelated to the production of leaf litter and fine roots in these stands on Pleistocene sandy soils. The pools of available P and basic cations tended to be higher under beech. Neither precipitation nor temperature influenced the SOC pool, whereas tree species was a key driver. An extended data set (which included additional pine stands established more recently on former agricultural soil) revealed that, besides tree species identity, forest continuity is an important factor determining the SOC and nutrient pools of these stands.\r\n \r\n \r\n Conclusion\r\n We conclude that tree species identity can exert a considerable influence on the stocks of SOC and macronutrients, which may be unrelated to productivity but closely linked to species-specific forest management histories, thus masking weaker climate and soil chemistry effects on pool sizes."],["dc.identifier.citation","Forest Ecosystems. 2021 Jul 15;8(1):47"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s40663-021-00330-y"],["dc.identifier.pii","330"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/93555"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112770"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-448"],["dc.relation.eissn","2197-5620"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Ökologie & Ökosystemforschung"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Zentrum für Biodiversität und Nachhaltige Landnutzung"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.holder","The Author(s)"],["dc.subject","Basic cations"],["dc.subject","Fagus sylvatica"],["dc.subject","Forest history"],["dc.subject","Nitrogen"],["dc.subject","Paired plots"],["dc.subject","Pinus sylvestris"],["dc.subject","Productivity effect"],["dc.subject","Soil organic carbon"],["dc.subject","Tree species effect"],["dc.title","Soil carbon and nutrient stocks under Scots pine plantations in comparison to European beech forests: a paired-plot study across forests with different management history and precipitation regimes"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

With a projected warming by 2–3 K over the twenty-first century, silvicultural adaptation measures and natural succession might lead to the replacement of European beech forests by thermophilic oak forests in drought- and heat-affected regions of central and south-eastern Europe, but the consequences for ecosystem C storage of this species shift are not clear.\r\n \r\n \r\n Aims\r\n To quantify the change in C storage in biomass and soil with a shift from beech (Fagus sylvatica) to oak forest (Quercus petraea, Q. frainetto, Q. cerris), we measured the aboveground biomass (AGC) and soil C pools (SOC).\r\n \r\n \r\n Methods\r\n AGC pools and SOC stocks to − 100 cm depth were calculated from forest inventory and volume-related SOC content data for beech, mixed beech-oak and oak forests in three transects in the natural beech-oak ecotone of western Romania, where beech occurs at its heat- and drought-induced distribution limit.\r\n \r\n \r\n Results\r\n From the cooler, more humid beech forests to the warmer, more xeric oak forests, which are 1–2 K warmer, AGC and SOC pools decreased by about 22% (40 Mg C ha−1) and 20% (17 Mg C ha−1), respectively. The likely main drivers are indirect temperature effects acting through tree species and management in the case of AGC, but direct temperature effects for SOC.\r\n \r\n \r\n Conclusion\r\n If drought- and heat-affected beech forests in Central Europe are replaced by thermophilic oak forests in future, this will lead to carbon losses of ~ 50–60 Mg ha−1, thus reducing ecosystem carbon storage substantially."],["dc.identifier.citation","Annals of Forest Science. 2021 Oct 15;78(4):89"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s13595-021-01081-0"],["dc.identifier.pii","1081"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/94667"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112974"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-478"],["dc.publisher","Springer Paris"],["dc.relation.eissn","1297-966X"],["dc.relation.haserratum","/handle/2/105896"],["dc.relation.issn","1286-4560"],["dc.rights.holder","The Author(s)"],["dc.subject","Beech-oak ecotone"],["dc.subject","Climate turning point"],["dc.subject","Fagus sylvatica"],["dc.subject","Quercus petraea"],["dc.subject","Above ground carbon"],["dc.subject","Soil carbon"],["dc.subject","Soil nutrient pools"],["dc.title","Climate warming-induced replacement of mesic beech by thermophilic oak forests will reduce the carbon storage potential in aboveground biomass and soil"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
