| Title | Relative Role of Understory and Overstory in Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in a Southern Appalachian Spruce-Fir Forest |
| Creator | Moore, P. T. Van Miegroet, H. Nicholas, N. S. |
| Description | This study investigated aboveground pools and fluxes of biomass, carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) in the overstory and understory of a southern Appalachian red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) – Fraser fir (Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir.) forest, following adelgid-induced fir mortality and spruce windthrow. Using fifty 20 m × 20 m plots, stratified by elevation (1700–1900 m), we estimated standing biomass and fluxes of all growth forms from periodic stand inventories (1998–2003), vegetation surveys, and... |
