Climatic adaptations are the foundation of conifer genecology, but populations also display
variation in traits for nitrogen (N) utilization, along with some heritable specificity for …

Roots mobilize nutrients via deep soil penetration and rhizosphere processes inducing
weathering of primary minerals. These processes contribute to C transfer to soils and to tree …

Forest productivity and response to silvicultural treatments are dependent on inherent site
resource availability and limitations. Trees have deeper rooting profiles than agronomic …

Understanding the mechanisms involved in the building up of organic matter pools with long
residence time in soils is fundamental for the comprehension of carbon dynamics. As …

Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal communities may be shaped by both deterministic and
stochastic processes, potentially influencing ecosystem development and function. We …

Characteristics of annual rings are reliable indicators of growth and wood quality in trees.
The main objective of our study was to model the variation in annual ring attributes due to …

Successful fertilization treatments targeted to improve stand productivity while reducing
operational complexities and cost depend on a clear understanding of soil nutrient …

A dense concentration of old‐growth forest and a wet, cold climate promote mineral
weathering and leaching in coastal temperate rainforest soils. Our objective was to assess …

Temperate rainforest soils of the Pacific Northwest are often carbon (C) rich and encompass
a wide range of fertility, reflecting varying nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability. Soil …

Forests around the world, and in the case of this study, the coastal Pacific Northwest United
States, store large amounts of carbon, both above ground in the trees and below ground in …
