Discussion of the effects of N with and without acidified S on a sitka spruce ecosystem after 5 years treatment
2002

Significant differences in the effects of N alone compared with NS Acid have been found with respect to eutrophication and acidification. N alone had no effect on the pleurocarpous mosses, whereas NS Acid caused their death within 2 years. Both treatments enhanced stem area increment and N alone also doubled fine root growth. By contrast NS Acid treatments increased litterfall in a a dose response fashion

Atmospheric Transfer and Deposition Mechanisms of ²¹⁰Pb Aerosols onto Forest Soils
2009
Likuku, Alfred S
Activities of ²¹⁰Pb carrier aerosols in an age-graded Sitka spruce conifer, three deciduous (oak, lime and sycamore) foliage and in rain and throughfall samples have been measured during the period of 2001-2002. The ²¹⁰Pb concentrations in the age-graded Sitka leaf needles have shown to accumulate until a steady state between accretion and loss of particulate matter is maintained with time. Similarly, the concentrations of ²¹⁰Pb on deciduous tree leaves increased with time until the leaves began to senesce. The ²¹⁰Pb inventory in bulk precipitation was significantly (r ² = 0.99; P < 0.001) large compared with that in throughfall samples, as indicated by a ratio of 1 to 0.1 of ²¹⁰Pb deposition in bulk precipitation to throughfall. This suggests that ²¹⁰Pb is retained in the Sitka spruce foliage during deposition until transfer to the ground mainly through litterfall. These findings suggest that the presence of woodland is responsible for enhanced ²¹⁰Pb deposition fluxes beneath wooded areas relative to open grassland soils.
