Denitrification potential in forest riparian soils of the western Oregon Cascades : spatial and temporal variation

Creator:

McClellan, Michael H.

Abstract:

Denitrification, the biological or chemical reduction of ionic nitrogen oxide or dinitrogen, has not been widely studied in forest ecosystems despite widespread interest in other facets of the forest nitrogen economy. This study had three main objectives: to determine whether potential for denitrification exists in forest riparian and hill slope...

Effects of wildfire burn severity on soil microbial communitiesand invasive plant species in the Cascade Range of Oregon

Creator:

Hebel, Cassie L.

Abstract:

Fire suppression in the last several decades has resulted in unprecedented accumulations of organic matter on the landscape, leading to an increase in large, intense wildfires. This study investigated the soil microbial community (using phospholipid fatty acid analysis) across recently burned forests on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range...
