Charcoal in North American boreal forests: implications for carbon storage and management
(2014-01-22)Charcoal plays an important role in boreal soil function and carbon storage, and is present in most boreal forest soils as a result of naturally recurring wildfires. Charcoal management has been proposed as a potentially ... -
The distribution and role of downed woody debris in nutrient retention and cycling during early stand establishment
(2013-02-12)Coarse woody debris (CWD) in boreal ecosystems has been hypothesized to play an important nutritional role following stand-replacing disturbances such as fire or harvest. Sites with shallow soil over bedrock or those with ... -
Foliar nutrient resorption and litterfall production with stand age, overstory composition, and disturbance origin in boreal forests
(2015-01-13)Nutrient resorption (NuR) prior to developmental senescence allows for nutrient conservation in plants, driven primarily by genetics, development stage, climate and soil fertility, and litterfall is the vector for the ...
