Isbn: 9781390462722 - control of depth to permafrost and soil temperature by the forest floor in black spruce/feathermoss communities (classic reprint) (1 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how removing forest floor cover affects soil temperatures and the depth of permafrost in black spruce and feathermoss communities in Alaska's interior. The author investigates the impact of fire and mechanical removal of forest floor layers, concluding that mechanical removal has the most significant effect on soil temperature and permafrost depth. Revegetation patterns after treatment are also discussed. Ground vegetation and tall shrub recovery was most successful on burned plots, while mosses were slowest to recover on heavily disturbed plots. This book contributes to our understanding of the crucial role of the forest floor in maintaining permafrost and regulating soil temperatures in this critical ecosystem, providing valuable insights for managing taiga ecosystems in a changing climate.
