The fate of organic and inorganic nitrogen inputs in an old-growth forest of the central Oregon Cascade Range

Creator:

Holub, Scott M.

Abstract:

Forests in the Pacific Northwest receive very little nitrogen through atmospheric deposition and thus studying the nitrogen cycle in this region can provide insights into how the unpolluted nitrogen cycle functions. I examined the fate of organic nitrogen versus inorganic nitrogen and the effect of tamlins on N retention by...

Post-harvest establishment influences ANPP, soil C and DOC export in complex mountainous terrain

Creator:

Peterson, Fox S.

Abstract:

The link between aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and resource gradients generated by complex terrain (solar radiation, nutrients, and moisture) has been established in the literature. Belowground ecosystem stocks and functions, such as soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and belowground productivity have also been related to the...
