Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Nutrient losses are higher under canopy harvest than under root harvest in Pinus pinaster.
- Association Thin roots have higher nutrient concentrations than coarse roots in Pinus pinaster.
- Recommendation Stump and root harvest could be sustainable in the study context, unlike foliage harvest.
- Recommendation Collecting roots only close to stumps should limit nutrient exports, particularly N, without reducing fuelwood biomass.
