Effects of plant community type on soil nitrogen availability along a toposequence in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
This study was initiated to examine the nitrogen content of three montane soils: subalpine, treeline and alpine; and to determine if the differences in soil nitrogen content were attributed to plant community and elevation. Soil organic matter, soil carbon, bulk density, pH and soil moisture were al...
