Patterns of fine-root respiration in northern hardwood forests in relation to temperature and nitrogen availability

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Zogg, G.P. ; Zak, D.R. ; Burton, A.J. September 1995 - Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America

Global changes in temperature and atmospheric NO{sub 3{minus}} deposition may effect C and N cycles in forests by influencing the maintenance respiration costs of fine roots. We examined fine-root respiration in four northern hardwood stands located along a 4{degrees}C (mid-summer) soil temperature gradient. Experimental plots in each stand received fertilizer additions equivalent to 30 kg NO{sub 3{minus}}-N ha{sup {minus}1} yr{sup {minus}1}. Oxygen uptake rates for excised fine roots were measured with a gas-phase electrode at ca. five week intervals during the 1994 growing season. Daily rates of N mineralization were estimated in situ using buried bags and root tissue Nmore »« less
The vernal dam: Plant-microbe competition for nitrogen in northern hardwood forests. [Allium tricoccum]

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Zak, D.R. ; Groffman, P.M. ; Pregitzer, K.S. ; ... April 1990 - Ecology; (USA)

Nitrogen (N) uptake by spring ephemeral communities has been proposed as a mechanism that retains N within northern hardwood forests during the season of maximum loss. To understand better the importance of these plants in retaining N, the authors followed the movement of {sup 15}NH{sub 4}{sup +} and {sup 15}NO{sub 3}{sup {minus}} into plant and microbial biomass. Two days following isotope addition, microbial biomass represented the largest labile pool of N and contained 8.5 times as much N as Allium tricoccum L. biomass. Microbial immobilization of {sup 15}N was 10-20 times greater than uptake by A. tricoccum. Nitrification of {supmore »« less

Detrital processes in a black locust reforested surface mine compared to a sugar maple dominated mixed hardwood stand

Thesis/Dissertation - in OSTI.gov collection Bartuska, A.M. January 1981

Black locust stands on reclaimed surface mines have accumulated a greater forest floor litter mass than nearby mixed hardwood forests. A three year intensive study was initiated to examine the detrital processes controlling differential litter accumulation. Two stands in north central West Virginia were compared, a black locust stand on a reclaimed surface mine and a nearby, mixed hardwood forest not disturbed by mining. Mean annual leaf litter deposition in the black locust stand was significantly less than that in the mixed hardwood stand. A decomposition experiment using litter bags showed that black locust leaf litter decomposed 36% more slowlymore »« less
