Abstract

Biomass Soil Timber harvest Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance
This report provides soil temperature, moisture, and respiration data for two years after biomass harvesting, OM removal, and compaction treatments that bracketed the range of reality likely present in a biomass harvesting system. The results suggest that residual surface biomass may not play as strong of a role in affecting the long-term soil productivity as widely believed and that we need to understand the role that residual roots play in supporting long-term soil productivity.
