Patterns of nitrogen fluxes in watersheds of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, OR

Creator:

Vanderbilt, Kristin Lynn, 1967-

Abstract:

Seasonal and annual patterns of N fluxes and concentrations in streamwater in six conifer-dominated watersheds at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, OR, were studied to gain insight into the factors that influence N retention in this ecosystem. Processes affecting N flux in streamwater differed between organic (DON) and inorganic (DIN;...

Dissertation
Dynamics of water-soluble carbon in forest soils of contrasting fertility

Creator:

Wagai, Rota

Abstract:

Most soil organic C is in a stable form, associated with clay minerals in the upper soil profile. Upon environmental and land-use changes, stable soil C is subject to losses, which influence the global C cycle and the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. However, mechanisms controlling soil C destabilization are not...

Songbird communities in burned and logged stands with variable tree retention in the Canadian Rocky Mountains

Creator:

Stuart-Smith, A. Kari

Abstract:

By emulating natural disturbances such as wildfire, managers hope to maintain biodiversity in managed forests. Leaving residual (live) trees in harvested areas is key to this strategy. However, the effectiveness of this approach is unknown. I surveyed songbirds in 176 stands in the Rocky Mountains of southeastern British Columbia, Canada,...
