Vertical distribution of organic matter in eight vegetation types near Eagle Summit, Alaska
The amount and distribution of organic matter was measured in different categories in six montane tundra vegetation types in a snow accumulation area and in tussock and intertussock areas in Eriophorum vaginatum tussock tundra in central Alaska. In root properties, the tussock and intertussock areas...

The amount and distribution of organic matter was measured in different categories in six montane tundra vegetation types in a snow accumulation area and in tussock and intertussock areas in Eriophorum vaginatum tussock tundra in central Alaska. In root properties, the tussock and intertussock areas were more similar to the fellfield zone than to the vegetation zones below the snow accumulation area. Root density apparently increased as soil nutrients decreased, but this increase may be caused by higher soil moisture and higher root relative water content. The tussock tundra has accumulated more dead soil organic matter than any of the montane zones. |
