Forest soil biology | Timber harvesting relationships : a perspective
1979
Jurgensen, Martin F. | Larsen, Michael J. | Harvey, A. E.
"Timber harvesting has a pronounced effect on the soil microflora by wood removal and changing properties. This paper gives a perspective on soil biology-harvesting relationships with emphasis on the northern Rocky Mountain region. Of special significance to forest management operations are the effects of soil micro-organisms on: the availability of soil nutrients, particularly nitrogen; the decay of woody plant material; and tree disease incidence. At present, no widespread detrimental impact on site quality in the northern Rocky Mountain region can be directly attributed to harvesting effects on the soil microflora."
