Non-linear nitrogen dynamics and calcium depletion along a temperate forest soil nitrogen gradient

Creator:

Sinkhorn, Emily R.

Abstract:

Understanding how N availability influences base cation stores is critical for long-term ecosystem sustainability. Indices of nitrogen (N) availability and the distribution of nutrients in plant biomass, soil, and soil water were examined across ten young, unpolluted Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in the Oregon Coast Range spanning a three-fold soil...

Forest Soil Nitrogen Gradient. Abstract approved
Four centuries of soil carbon and nitrogen change after severe fire in a Western Cascades forest landscape

Creator:

Giesen, Thomas William

Abstract:

Fire is a major disturbance process in many forests. Long-term studies of the biogeochemical effects of fires, especially on soils, are very rare. Consequently, long-term effects of fire on soils are often hypothesized from short-term effects. In a chronosequence study, I studied 24 western Cascades (Oregon) forest stands thought to...
