Effect of variable retention harvesting and stand type on soil nitrogen availability in boreal mixedwood forests
Clear-cut harvesting has been shown to increase the nitrification rate and lead to elevated levels of soil nitrate in some forests. This change in nitrogen (N) cycling and availability could negatively affect regeneration, future site productivity as well as surrounding ecosystems. Variable-retentio...
