Title Soil Chemistry and Nutrition of North American Red Spruce-Fir Stands: Evidence for Recent Change
Creator Joslin, J. D. Kelly, J. M. Van Miegroet, H.
Description One set of hypotheses offered to explain the decline of red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) in eastern North America focuses on the effect of acidic deposition on soil chemistry changes that may affect nutrient availability and root function. Long-term soils data suggest that soil acidification has occurred in some spruce stands over the past 50 yr, with plant uptake and cation leaching both contributing to the loss of cations. Studies of tree ring chemistry also have indicated changes in Ca/Al...
