Creator:: Yatskov, Mikhail A.
Abstract:: Changes in climate caused by increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the Earth’s atmosphere have led land and ocean surface temperatures to increase by 0.85°C and sea level to increase by 19 cm relative to preindustrial times. Global climate change will lead to further alterations in mean temperature and...

Creator:: Valachovic, Yana S.
Abstract:: The effects of initial leaf litter chemistry of 16 common coniferous and deciduous hardwoods and shrubs on their annual decomposition patterns were studied on the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest (Oregon). Leaf litters were characterized by their chemical qualities, which included measurement of elemental fractions (C, N, P, K, Ca, Mg),...

Creator:: Matkins, Joselin
Abstract:: I examined factors regulating decomposition rates of red alder (Alnus rubra)) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) leaf litter in Coast Range riparian areas in western Oregon. Overall, this study was designed to examine the influence that leaf litter quality characteristics and decomposition site treatment have on decomposition rates, to provide a...

Creator:: Van Cleve, K., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, and University of Washington
Abstract:: In this study, we examined the loss of selected chemical elements, mass, and energy from decomposing quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.), and alder (Alnus crispa subsp. sinuata (Regel) Hult.) in upland aspen and birch stands near Fairbanks, Alaska. The following summary of the work, much...
