  • Non-linear nitrogen dynamics and calcium depletion along a temperate forest soil nitrogen gradient

    Creator:
    Sinkhorn, Emily R.
    Abstract:
    Understanding how N availability influences base cation stores is critical for long-term ecosystem sustainability. Indices of nitrogen (N) availability and the distribution of nutrients in plant biomass, soil, and soil water were examined across ten young, unpolluted Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in the Oregon Coast Range spanning a three-fold soil...
