Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of neotropical tree and liana species richness from soil and climatic data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of local species richness in neotropical forests, based on a number of 0.1 ha samples of woody plants collected by the late Alwyn Gentry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient Retention by the Root Mat of an Amazonian Rain Forest
Nellie M. Stark,Carl F. Jordan +1 more
TL;DR: First evidence supporting the ability of the root map on the surface of poor, depleted tropical soils to efficiently take up dissolved nutrients before they percolate down to mineral soil is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct phosphorus transfer from leaf litter to roots
TL;DR: The present communication suggests the presence of one pathway for this reduction in the microsomal system that does not seem to have been reported previously, and the importance of Cr(VI) metabolism does not diminish by the fact that Cr(III) compounds, at sufficiently high concentrations, have been found to be mutagenic in the Salmonella system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fire and Nutrient Cycling in a Douglas-Fir/Larch Forest
TL;DR: Twenty control burns performed with a wide range of fuel loadings and moisture conditions were used to study the effectiveness of old fuel reduction under standing Douglas—fir/larch forest, showing this soil is young and capable of withstanding many years of cyclic intensive burns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of timber harvesting on microbial biomass fluxes in a northern Rocky Mountain forest soil
TL;DR: During summer and winter, microbial biomass in soil from the RL treatment was significantly greater than that in soilFrom any other treatment, probably because of the large amount of organic residue left after harvest, preventing it from drying or freezing.
