Snowpack influences spatial and temporal soil nitrogen dynamics in a western U.S. montane forested watershed
Abstract Declines in winter snowpack have increased the severity of summer droughts in western U.S. forests, with the potential to also impact soil available nitrogen (N). To understand how snowpack controls spatiotemporal N availability, we examined seasonal N dynamics across elevation, aspect, and...
