Soil Chemical Variation Along a Four-Decade Time Series of Reclaimed Water Amendments in Northern Idaho Forests Open
Application of municipal reclaimed water to forests for water reclamation is a pragmatic approach that provides water and nutrients to soil and lowers the liability of reclaimed water disposal, yet little is known about the long-term impac…

Status of truffle science and cultivation in North America Open
Background Truffles are subterranean fungal fruiting bodies that are highly prized for their culinary value. Cultivation of truffles was pioneered in Europe and has been successfully adapted in temperate regions throughout the globe. Truff…

Estimating Drainage from Forest Water Reclamation Facilities Based on Drain Gauge Measurements Open
A growing human population requires sustainable solutions to regulate and dispose of municipal wastewater. Water treatment facilities in northern Idaho are permitted to apply reclaimed wastewater to forest land during the growing season at…

Tree Growth and Vegetation Diversity in Northern Idaho Forest Water Reclamation Facilities Open
Forest water reclamation can improve tree growth and renovate municipal wastewater. Although there are indications that long-term application may exceed forest assimilation capacity, there is limited information on the long-term effects of…

Cumulative nitrogen uptake by loblolly pine and sweetgum receiving irrigation and fertilization through a ten-year rotation Open
This dataset provides plot-level data of cumulative nitrogen (N) uptake for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and American sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) receiving irrigation and fertilization through a ten-year rotation in the southea…

Forest soil respiration and exoenzyme activity in western North America following thinning, residue removal for biofuel production, and compensatory soil amendments Open
Cellulosic biofuel from forest thinning operations is a potential renewable energy source in regions with overstocked forests such as those in western United States. However, it is possible that biomass removal can deplete nutrients from s…

Douglas-fir seedling quality in biochar-amended peat substrates Open
Artificial forest regeneration using nursery produced growing stock is commonplace in the Pacific Northwest. High quality seedlings are needed for outplanting success, which depends on a seedling’s ability to establish new roots and overco…

Soil greenhouse gas, carbon content, and tree growth response to biochar amendment in western United States forests Open
Restoring overstocked forests by thinning and pyrolyzing residual biomass produces biochar and other value‐added products. Forest soils amended with biochar have potential to sequester carbon (C), improve soil quality, and alter greenhouse…

Stand development and other intrinsic factors largely control fine-root dynamics with only subtle modifications from resource availability Open
Forest productivity depends on resource acquisition by ephemeral roots and leaves. A combination of intrinsic and environmental factors influences ephemeral organs; however, difficulties in studying belowground organs impede mechanistic un…

Biochar as a growing media component for containerized production of Douglas-fir Open
In the inland northwestern United States (US), Douglas-fir artificial regeneration commonly includes growing seedlings in media containing sphagnum peat. Concerns over the sustainability of peat and rising plant production costs are initia…
View article: Idaho forest growth response to post‐thinning energy biomass removal and complementary soil amendments
Idaho forest growth response to post‐thinning energy biomass removal and complementary soil amendments Open
Utilization of woody biomass for biofuel can help meet the need for renewable energy production. However, there is a concern biomass removal will deplete soil nutrients, having short‐ and long‐term effects on tree growth. This study aimed …

Ponderosa Pine Responses to Biochar, Fertilizer, or Mastication on the Bitterroot National Forest, USA Open
Management and restoration practices in even-age ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Lawson & C. Lawson) stands in the Intermountain West can be improved by developing a more thorough understanding of the effects of soil amendment treatments o…

Grand Fir Nutrient Management in the Inland Northwestern USA Open
Grand fir (Abies grandis (Douglas ex D. Don) Lindley) is widely distributed in the moist forests of the Inland Northwest. It has high potential productivity, its growth being nearly equal to western white pine, the most productive species …
