| Increasing emissions of greenhouse gases are now widely acknowledged by the scientific community as a major cause of recent increases in global mean temperature (about 0.5 8C since 1970) and changes in the world’s hydrological cycle, including a widening of the Earth’s tropical belt. Before industrial development and high increase in human population, the level of CO2 in the air was about 280 ppm. It was estimated 379 ppm in 2005, 381 ppm in 2006. It is noted that it increased about1. 93 ppm per year between 2000 and 2006. By the middle of the 21 centuary, it is expected that these values could be doubled (500-600 ppm). Forest ecosystems are the main systems which can reduce the increase of atmospheric CO2. Forest ecosystems only cover 30% of the land areas, but contain 81% of the terrestrial carbon biomass. In addition, forests accumulate 20 to 100 times as much carbon per unit area as agricultural land and are 20 times more productive than grassland. After plant organs die and fall on the forest floor, the carbon stored in plant bodies forms litters which later decay and either release CO2 to atmosphere or leached into soil and stored there. On the otherhand, plant biomass is removed out of the ecosystem by harvesting the wood material and by collecting the other plant productions. There are some evidences in the literature that the removal of wood materials from the ecosystem, the activities of humans during these operations and the remaining tree parts on the forest floor after harvesting can influence litter decomposition dynamics. This present study has been therefore set up to investigate the effects of harvesting on fir litter … |
