The effects of moisture content and initial heterotrophic colonization on the decomposition of coarse woody debris

Creator:

Barker, Jason Scot

Abstract:

Previous research on coarse woody debris (CWD) indicated that moisture content and initial heterotrophic colonization of decaying wood can affect the decomposition process. Six heterotrophic treatments were created to simulate the effects of physical penetration of the bark and wood and the transmission of ascomycetes versus basidiomycetes into CWD. In...
