Response of Soil Microbially Mediated Nutrient Cycling and Community Structure to Timber Harvest in the Pacific Northwest

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...

Response of Soil Microbially Mediated Nutrient Cycling and
Response of Soil Temperature, Moisture, and Respiration Two Years Following Intensive Organic Matter and Compaction Manipulations in Oregon Cascade Forests

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...
