Mycorrhiza formation and diversity in undisturbed forest and clearcut and burned areas in three forest types in Oregon

Creator:

Brainerd, Richard E.

Abstract:

A greenhouse bioassay was used to compare ectomycorrhiza formation and diversity in soils from undisturbed and clearcut and burned areas in moist mesic, moist montane and dry montane forest types representing a gradient of environmental harshness. It was hypothesized that mycorrhiza diversity decreases with increasing environmental harshness and that stability...

Physical processes affecting soil biotic and abiotic responses to disturbance in forest ecosystems of southwestern Oregon

Creator:

Borchers, Jeffrey G.

Abstract:

The effect of physical factors such as soil structure, bulk density, parent material, and topographic variables on soil C and N dynamics and ectomycorrhizal inocululu potential in forests of southwest Oregon were investigated In the high-elevation white fir (Abies concolor (Gord. & Glend.) Lindl.) zone, two old poorly-vegetated clearcuts with...
