Long term effects of disturbance processes on ecosystem properties across a windstorm exposure gradient and at high and low debris flow exposures
This presentation will lay out how relative differences in disturbance frequency, over the last ~15,000 years, were expected to alter old growth forest carbon stocks in southeast Alaska. Additionally, the mechanisms thought to link disturbance processes and carbon stocks were also investigated within old growth forests with differing disturbance histories. The two mechanisms pursued were available soil nitrogen and a dense, "hard-pan" soil horizon. Results were not quite as expected...
Everyone is welcome to join the seminar, please see the Zoom link information above.
