Jack pine barrens in northeastern New York: postfire macronutrient concentrations, heat content, and understory biomass
Macronutrient concentrations (N, P, K, Ca, and Mg), ash, high heat, and ash-free high heat contents were determined for current-year jack pine (Pinusbanksiana Lamb.) foliage, huckleberry (Gaylussaciabaccata (Wang.) K. Koch.) and blueberry (Vacciniumangustifolium Ait.) foliage, and reindeer lichen (C...
