Patterns of soil organic matter and microclimate accompanying the death and regeneration of a mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana ) forest

Creator:

Boone, Richard D.

Abstract:

Soil organic matter levels, soil temperature and moisture, and vegetation properties were measured along a sequence of death and regeneration in a mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana) forest. The sequence is produced by slowly moving waves of the root pathogen Phellinus weirii. While analysis of variance for all sampled soil layers...
