Soil carbon and nitrogen in old-growth forests in western Oregon and Washington

Creator:

Remillard, Suzanne Marie

Abstract:

Soil organic carbon (SOC, kg C m-2) is an important component in evaluating global C stores. The nitrogen (TN, kg N m"2) cycle is closely linked to C and understanding its role is also important. Contents and distributions of SOC and TN in soil profiles, to 1-meter depth, were estimated...

Influences of nitrogen on carbon dynamics in forest soil and density fractions

Creator:

Swanston, Christopher W.

Abstract:

Application of N fertilizer is a common forest management practice in the Pacific Northwest, yet the long-term influence of fertilization on forest soil properties is not well known. Although elevated N often increases mineralization of C and N from labile organic matter, negative effects have been documented in recalcitrant organic...
