Fine-root decomposition and N dynamics in coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A.

Creator:

Chen, Hua, Harmon, Mark E., Sexton, Jay, and Fasth, Becky

Abstract:

We examined the effects of species, initial substrate quality, and site differences (including temperature, precipitation, and soil N availability) on fine-root (<2 mm diameter) decomposition in litter bags and its N dynamics in Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong) Carrière), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl....

A chronosequence of wood decomposition in the boreal forests of Russia

Creator:

Yatskov, Mikhail, Harmon, Mark E., and Krankina, Olga N.

Abstract:

Coarse woody debris (CWD), represented by logs and snags >10 cm in diameter and >1 m in length, was sampled at eight sites in Russian boreal forests to determine the specific density of decay classes and decomposition rates. Tree species sampled included Abies siberica Ledeb., Betula pendula Roth., Betula costata...
