Abstract: Evaluates the effects of nitrogen (N) enrichment, wildfire and harvesting on forest-soil carbon (C) and N. Reduction of forest-floor C/N ratios; Comparison of forest-floor C and N pools in the treated watershed and reference watershed; Comparison of C and N concentrations and pools in the burned watershed with hardwood and the reference with softwoods.
