Functional profiles of soil microbial communities in second-growth Douglas-fir forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

McGinnis, Megan L.

Abstract:

Forests are one of the largest repositories of terrestrial C. Understanding factors that drive organic matter transformations and nutrient efflux from these systems is therefore highly important. Temperate forests are of particular significance due to the large fraction of C that is stored below ground in the soil. Characterizing nutrient...

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...
