Nutrient inputs in litterfall and rainwater fluxes in 27-year old red,black and white spruce plantations in Central Ontario, Canada

摘要

This study was undertaken to examine some nutrient cycling pathways in plantations of several species within the genus Picea. As no such studies currently exist, species within this genera in eastern North America are often managed inappropriately in a collective fashion, when in fact major differences in nutrient demand and utilization may occur.
