Soil respiration, carbon and nitrogen leaching, and nitrogen availability in response to harvest intensity and competing vegetation control in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Slesak, Robert A.

Abstract:

Management practices following forest harvest can affect long-term soil productivity through alteration of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools, but processes contributing to change are poorly understood. I assessed effects of three levels of logging-debris retention in combination with initial or annual applications of competing vegetation control (CVC) following...

Belowground carbon storage and soil organic matter quality following fertilizer and herbicide applications in ponderosa pine plantations along a site-quality gradient in northern California

Creator:

McFarlane, Karis J., 1979-

Abstract:

Belowground carbon (C) storage and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) in forest soils have implications for sustainable forest management and C sequestration, but how these pools change in response to management is poorly understood. I investigated whether fertilization and competing vegetation control, applied alone or in combination early in...
