Abstract:

There is increasing concern regarding whole-tree harvesting (WTH) and depletion of forest soil C pools in North America. However, recent research indicates that forest ecosystems may be resilient in terms of WTH and soil C in organic and surface mineral soil (> 20 cm-depth) C pool. Less is known about deeper subsoil C pool response to WTH and forest regeneration. This presentation will address subsurface C pools during 24 years of regeneration following WTH in the spruce-forest forest in north-central Maine. Comparisons will be made to a reference spruce-fir stand and preharvest conditions.
