Pacific Northwest lands. At the core of this work are the concepts of soil quality, in particular, the
Soil respiration, carbon and nitrogen leaching, and nitrogen availability in response to harvest intensity and competing vegetation control in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Slesak, Robert A.

Abstract:

Management practices following forest harvest can affect long-term soil productivity through alteration of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools, but processes contributing to change are poorly understood. I assessed effects of three levels of logging-debris retention in combination with initial or annual applications of competing vegetation control (CVC) following...
