Measures of soil nutrient availability such as concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus ([N]
and [P]) are important indicators of terrestrial productivity. Optimal plant growth and …

Forest fires are known to influence nutrient cycling, particularly soil nitrogen (N), as well as
plant succession in northern forest ecosystems. However, few studies have addressed the …

Boreal forests are an important source of wood products, and fertilizers could be used to
improve forest yields, especially in nutrient poor regions of the boreal zone. With climate …

This study examined the nitrogen (N) dynamics of a black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP)-
dominated chronosequence in Manitoba, Canada. The seven sites studied each contained …

Boreal forest soils are a significant component of the global C cycle. Although wildfire and
subsequent salvage logging are major disturbances in this ecosystem, their combined …

Post-fire nutrient flushes are an important precursor to secondary succession in fire-driven
boreal forest. We studied the magnitude of changes in post-fire soil nutrient status across a …

The heterogeneous Boreal Shield forest in Canada is one of the most extensive pristine
forests remaining in the world and is being intensely harvested. We studied the spatial …

The interacting influence of disturbances and nutrient dynamics on aboveground biomass,
forest floor, and mineral soil C stocks was assessed as part of the Boreal Forest Transect …

The effects of secondary succession on soil nutrient availability following fire in the 1920s
was investigated in a hardwood forest of southern Quebec by correlation analyses between …

In the North American boreal forest, black spruce (Picea mariana) forests have historically
regenerated after the passage of large‐scale wildfires. Over the past 30 years, tree …
