Litterfall production and fine root dynamics in cool-temperate forests
Current understanding of litterfall and fine root dynamics in temperate forests is limited, even though these are the major contributors to carbon and nutrient cycling in the ecosystems. In this study, we investigated litterfall and fine root biomass and production in five deciduous and four coniferous forests at the Gwangneung Experimental Forest in Korea. We used ingrowth cores to measure fin...
متن کاملPhytophthora cinnamomi and other fine root pathogens in north temperate pine forests.
A number of fine root pathogens, including Phytophthora cinnamomi, Pythium ultimum var. ultimum, Pythium undulatum, Pythium violae, Fusarium sp., and two incompletely identified Verticillium species, were isolated from soils taken from under Scots pine trees at five sites in north Scotland, including semi-natural forests and plantations. At least two root pathogens were recovered from each fore...
متن کاملFine-scale vegetation distribution in a cool temperate peatland
Carbon (C) modeling and carbon dioxide (CO2) flux measurements in peatlands are dependent on the distribution and productivity of vegetation in a system with a high degree of spatial variability, often linked to the position of the water table. We tested the hypothesis that at a fine-scale (tens of metres) water table position exerts a strong control on species abundance, plant biomass, particu...

For multiple litter × species combinations, the difference between gross and net n mineralization was significant, and gross mineralization was 7–20 % greater than net mineralization. th...
متن کاملFine-root decomposition and N dynamics in coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A
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. ex P. & C. Laws.) forest...
