Title Cation Distribution, Cycling, and Removal from Mineral Soil in Douglas-Fir and Red Alder Forests
Creator Homann, P. S. Van Miegroet, H. Cole, D. W. Wolfe, G. C.
Description Overstory species influence the distribution and dynamics of nutrients in forest ecosystems. Ecosystem-level estimates of Ca, Mg, and K pools and cycles in 50-year old Douglas-fir and red alder stands were used to determine the effect of overstory composition on net cation removal from the mineral soil, i.e. cation export from the soil in excess of additions. Net cation removal from Douglas-fir soil was 8 kg Ca ha–1 yr–1, 1 kg Mg ha–1 yr–1, and 0.3 kg K ha–1 yr–1. Annual cation export from...
