Physical and chemical characteristics of riparian soils two third order streams in the western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:

Gillham, Marla L.

Abstract:

Study objectives were to survey and compare physical and chemical characteristics of soils within two thirdorder montane riparian ecosystems: a 500-year old Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menzlesii) forest at Mack Creek, and a mature red alder (Alnus rubra) forest occupying a 35-year old clearcut at Quartz Creek, both near Blue River,...

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...
