Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic nitrogen additions reduce total soil respiration and microbial respiration in temperate forest soils at the Harvard Forest
TL;DR: In the second year, however, respiration in the fertilized hardwood plots was not different from the control plot as discussed by the authors, and the pine stand, annual soil respiration was 21 and 25% lower, respectively, in low and high N plots than the control plots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of aboveground litter, belowground litter, and root respiration to total soil respiration in a temperate mixed hardwood forest
TL;DR: Estimating contributions by root respiration and root litter to total soil respiration is difficult owing to problems in measuring each component separately.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemical response of forest ecosystems to simulated chronic nitrogen deposition
Alison H. Magill,John D. Aber,Joseph J. Hendricks,Richard D. Bowden,Jerry M. Melillo,Paul A. Steudler +5 more
TL;DR: The first 6 years of chronic nitrogen amendments at the Harvard Forest (Massachusetts, USA) were reported in this article, where foliar chemistry, tree growth, above and below ground, soil chemistry, nitrogen cycling (net mineralization and nitrification) and soil N20 flux responses were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors controlling atmospheric methane consumption by temperate forest soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of soil temperature, soil moisture, soil fertility, site fertility, and nitrogen fertilization on the consumption of atmospheric CH4 by temperate forest soils located at the Harvard Forest in Petersham, Massachusetts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic C and N stabilization in a forest soil: Evidence from sequential density fractionation
Phillip Sollins,Christopher W. Swanston,Markus Kleber,Timothy R. Filley,Marc G. Kramer,Susan E. Crow,Bruce A. Caldwell,Kate Lajtha,Richard D. Bowden +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an Oregon andic soil was sequentially density fractionated at 1.65, 1.85, 2.28, and 2.55 cm −3 and analyzed the six fractions for measures of organic matter and mineral phase properties.
