Abstract:: Forests and forest soils are some of the largest biologically active carbon reservoirs in the world. Therefore, understanding how disturbances, such as forest harvest, influence biogeochemical cycling is particularly important for managing forests sustainably. Timber harvest can have large impacts on forest soils, which may affect the long-term productivity and...

Creator:: Gallo, Adrian Carlos
Abstract:: Forest soils contain a substantial portion of global terrestrial carbon stores. Forest management can influence the soil carbon pool and how soil organic matter functions. The long-term productivity of forests is an ongoing goal where land managers utilize biomass and timber. A site-specific understanding of intensively managed forests can ensure...

Creator:: Danielson, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Forest harvest persists as one of the most globally important industries, and crucially provides raw wood products for both building and fuel materials. Mechanistically complex abiotic and biotic processes curb ecosystem recovery following timber harvest and it is of great importance to understand the effects of this practice on biogeochemical...

Creator:: Magalska, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Foresters care about site productivity and stem quality in Douglas-fir plantations for many reasons. The profitability of forest land and the economic returns on silvicultural investments are directly related to site productivity. Thus, understanding the relationships among Douglas-fir productivity, stem form and site characteristics is important economically. My objective was...
