Abstract:
Objectives:
To examine the effects of acidic deposition of forest soil processes in
infertile jack pine forests to assess the long-term influences of acidic
deposition of jack pine forests using simulation modeling of ecosystem
processes; and, to develop water quality and soil quality indicators and
test their ability to assess the response of forest ecosystems to disturbance.
Location:
Blind River and Chapleau Districts, Northeastern Region
Key Deliverables:
Poster; Journal Articles- projections of long-term impacts of acidic deposition
on jack pine productivity; acidic deposition impacts on nutrient cycling
in an age chronosequence of jack pine forests. Development of resin discs
for the determination of soil nutrient fluxes.
Expected Benefits:
Sources of Funding:
Biodiversity and Forest Health Network
Other Collaborators:
Brian Fox, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Superior Forest Products,
University of New Brunswick
Nature of Other Collaborators' Involvement:
Site Maintenance, Assistance with ecosystem modeling and resin disc development.
