Nitrogen Chemistry, Deposition, and Cycling in Forests

  • Chapter
Atmospheric Deposition and Forest Nutrient Cycling

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 91))

Overview

At the conception of the Integrated Forest Study (IFS) program, a series of questions were raised specific to the effect of N input on ecosystem nutrient cycling processes including those mechanisms responsible for the retention, transformation, and loss of N through leaching from forest ecosystems. The fact that comparable data were collected at 17 sites (covering a wide array of forest types, elevations, climatic conditions, and atmospheric N input regimes) allowed us to integrate the results from this program and begin to answer some of the questions that could not be addressed from the results generated from any single individual site.
