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 ... -
Patterns and mechanisms of tree species diversity effects on fine root processes associated with stand development in boreal forests
(2018)Over the last two decades, one major advance in ecology has been the demonstration that biodiversity has positive effects on a broad range of ecosystem functions. However, diversity-ecosystem functioning studies for ... -
Trends in growth and soil nutrients following fire and logging
(2016)Understanding the impact of natural and anthropogenic disturbance on soil fertility and tree growth is critical to the sustainability of forest management, yet there remains much uncertainty regarding how both harvesting ...
