- Title
NITROGEN DYNAMICS IN AN ANNUAL GRASSLAND: OAK CANOPY, CLIMATE, AND MICROBIAL POPULATION EFFECTS.
- Authors
Herman, Donald J.; Halverson, Larry J.; Firestone, Mary K.
- Abstract
The article presents a study to examine the influence of canopies to nitrogen-cycling processes and tree removal in hardwood rangelands of California. The standing ammonium and nitrate pools were measured, nitrification potentials in soils under oak canopies within similar watershed that were fenced to exclude cattle or grazed by cattle. It shows that properties of canopy-removed soils were converging with nitrification potentials, declining nitrogen (N) capitals and open area soil properties.
