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...
