Floodplain alder and white spruce sites and upland birch/aspen and white spruce sites were examined. Each site had control, fertilized, and sawdust amended plots; flux measurements began during the second treatment year. CO2 emissions decreased with successional age across the sites (alder, birch/aspen, and white spruce, in order of succession) regardless of landscape position. Although CO2 fluxes showed an exponential relationship with soil temperature, the response of CO2 production to moisture fit an asymptotic model. Of the manipulations, only N fertilization had an effect on CO2 flux, decreasing flux in the floodplain sites but increasing it in the birch/aspen site. Landscape position was the best predictor of CH4 flux. The two upland sites consumed CH4 at similar rates (approximately 0.5 mg C m\u22122 d\u22121), whereas the floodplain sites had lower consumption rates (0\u20130.3 mg C m\u22122 d\u22121). N fertilization and sawdust both inhibited CH4 consumption in the upland birch/aspen and floodplain spruce sites but not in the upland spruce site. The biological processes driving CO2 fluxes were sensitive to temperature, moisture, and vegetation, whereas CH4 fluxes were sensitive primarily to landscape position and biogeochemical disturbances. Hence, climate change effects on C-gas flux in taiga forest soils will depend on the relationship between soil temperature and moisture and the concomitant changes in soil nutrient pools and cycles.", "keywords": ["landscape-ecology", "Betulaceae-: Dicotyledones-", "flux-", "soil-nutrient-pools", "Coniferopsida-: Gymnospermae-", "Vascular-Plants", "forests-", "Environmental-Sciences)", "carbon-dioxide", "nitrogen-fertilizers", "01 natural sciences", "carbon-dioxide: emissions-", "nitrogen-: fertilization-", "vegetation-", "birch- (Betulaceae-)", "124-38-9: CARBON DIOXIDE", "Spermatophytes-", "Spermatophyta-", "74-82-8: METHANE", "Plantae-", "white-spruce (Coniferopsida-)", "successional-age", "boreal-forests", "environmental-temperature", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "taiga-forest-stands", "Angiosperms-", "Gymnosperms-", "Angiospermae-", "Plants-", "sawdust-", "methane-", "15.

This paper reviews the literature on forest management effects on soil C and N and reports the results of a meta analysis of these data. The meta analysis showed that forest harvesting, on average, had little or no effect on soil C and N. Significant effects of harvest type and species were noted, with sawlog harvesting causing increases (+18%) in soil C and N and whole-tree harvesting causing decreases (\u22126%). The positive effect of sawlog harvesting appeared to be restricted to coniferous species. Fire resulted in no significant overall effects of fire on either C or N (when categories were combined); but there was a significant effect of time since fire, with an increase in both soil C and N after 10 years (compared to controls). Significant differences among fire treatments were found, with the counterintuitive result of lower soil C following prescribed fire and higher soil C following wildfire. The latter is attributed to the sequestration of charcoal and recalcitrant, hydrophobic organic matter and to the effects of naturally invading, post-fire, N-fixing vegetation. Both fertilization and N-fixing vegetation caused marked overall increases in soil C and N.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "sawlog-harvesting: harvesting-method", "Coniferopsida-: Gymnospermae-", "Vascular-Plants", "Eucalyptus-spp. (Myrtaceae-)", "01 natural sciences", "carbon-: soil-storage", "Salicaceae-: Dicotyledones-", "Spermatophytes-", "Spermatophyta-", "Plantae-", "Forest Sciences", "Pinus-spp. (Coniferopsida-)", "Picea-abies (Coniferopsida-)", "meta-analysis: statistical-method", "2.
