Creator:: Kersey, Jordan H.
Abstract:: Temperate coniferous forests, such as those that cover vast areas of the western US and Canada, have evolved to depend on cycles of disturbance for succession of species and overall ecosystem maintenance. Many of these forest systems are managed, often for timber production, where disturbances are of anthropogenic origin and...

Abstract:: Inoculation trials were set up in fumigated nursery beds for red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) seedling production. Frankia inoculum was applied in eight treatments: control, nodule suspension, and three levels of cell suspension (strain ArI5) applied with and without a peat carrier. Seedlings were evaluated at midseason and lifting. The...

Creator:: McGinnis, Megan L.
Abstract:: Forests are one of the largest repositories of terrestrial C. Understanding factors that drive organic matter transformations and nutrient efflux from these systems is therefore highly important. Temperate forests are of particular significance due to the large fraction of C that is stored below ground in the soil. Characterizing nutrient...

Creator:: Danielson, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Forest harvest persists as one of the most globally important industries, and crucially provides raw wood products for both building and fuel materials. Mechanistically complex abiotic and biotic processes curb ecosystem recovery following timber harvest and it is of great importance to understand the effects of this practice on biogeochemical...

Creator:: Martin, Kelsey M.
Abstract:: Forests and forest soils are some of the largest biologically active carbon reservoirs in the world. Therefore, understanding how disturbances, such as forest harvest, influence biogeochemical cycling is particularly important for managing forests sustainably. Timber harvest can have large impacts on forest soils, which may affect the long-term productivity and...
