    ..that alone fixes between 1.5 and 2.0 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1) in mid- to late-successional forests of northern Scandinavia and Finland. Previous efforts have probably underestimated N-fixation potential in boreal forests...

    Thomas H DeLuca
    Ecology and Economics Research Department, The Wilderness Society, Washington, D C, USA
    Oecologia 152:121-30. 2007
    ..Transplantation of moss carpets resulted in a significant shift in presence and activity of cyanobacteria 1 year after initiation of the experiment responding to N fertility differences in early versus late successional forests...

    Michael J Gundale
    Department of Ecosystem and Conservation Sciences, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59812, USA
    Ecol Appl 16:479-89. 2006
    ..These findings may lead to more informed restoration decisions that consider treatment effects on understory diversity in ponderosa pine/Douglas-fir ecosystems...

    Thomas H DeLuca
    Department of Ecosystem and Conservation Sciences, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59812, USA
    Ecology 87:2511-22. 2006
    ..Our results corroborate the largely untested hypothesis that frequent fire in ponderosa pine forests increases inorganic N availability in the long term and emphasize the need to study natural, unmanaged sites in far greater detail...
