| Title | Soil Microclimate and Chemistry of Spruce-Fir Tree Islands in Northern Utah |
| Creator | Van Miegroet, H. Hysell, M. T. Johnson, A. Denton |
| Description | The objective was to investigate differences in soil properties in high-elevation tree islands composed of subalpine fir [Abies lasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt.] and Engelmann spruce [Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.] relative to semiarid meadows in Northern Utah. We compared snow depths, surface soil temperature and moisture, and soil chemical properties (0–30 cm) between tree islands and the surrounding meadow. Snow accumulated evenly around the tree islands. Snow depth differences developed... |
