  1. Biomass fly ash as foliar fertilizer for hybrid aspen trees: nutrient uptake, growth response, and compatibility with nitrogen fertilizer.

    Biomass ash is an important and potentially useful by-product of the bioenergy industry. As a "proof of concept" for using biomass fly ash as a foliar fertilizer, we tested (i) whether the nutrients in the ash were absorbed by hybrid aspen trees, (ii) whether the ash affected tree growth, and (iii) whether the ash was compatible with nitrogen foliar...

  2. Regional variation in growth response of Coastal Douglas-fir to nitrogen fertilizer in the Pacific Northwest.

    Hypothesis testing for differences in growth responses among physiographic strata, thinning levels, and fertilizer dosage levels resulted in a set of empirical models for predicting volume increment response of even aged coastal Douglas-fir to nitrogen fertilizer. Absolute and percent responses are estimated for stands both thinned and unthinned, as a function of...

  4. Five Years of Nitrogen Fertilization in a Sweetgum-Oak Stand

    Diameter and height growth were significantly increased in a 20-year-old sweetgum-oak stand by annual surface application of ammonium nitrate and of complete N-P-K fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilization significantly increased the nitrogen content of foliage. With increasing nitrate application, exchangeable potassium in the soil 1 year after treatment decreased.

  5. Nitrogen fertilization stimulates germination of dormant pin cherry seed

    Nitrogen fertilizers triggered germination of dormant Prunus pensylvanica L. seed naturally buried in the forest floor of 60-year-old Allegheny hardwood stands. Neither triple superphosphate nor muriate of potash applied with urea increased germination over that which occurred with urea alone. Rates as low as 56 kg/ha N from urea and calcium...

  6. Influence of family and nitrogen fertilizer on growth and nutrition of western hemlock seedlings.

    Effects of genotype and nitrogen fertilizer on growth and shoot nutrients of western hemlock seedlings were determined by using 11 open-pollinated families from coastal Oregon and Washington. The families differed significantly in growth, initially and after one growing season after treatment. All seedlings responded well to fertilizer, and fertilization significantly...

  7. Effects of soil and foliar applications of nitrogen fertilizers on a 20-year-old Douglas-fir stand

    We compared growth and cone production of Douglas-fir treated 4 years earlier with ISO pounds N per acre applied as urea prill by hand and as a 32-percent N solution applied by helicopter. Nitrogen fertilization increased growth by 3 88 ft per acre during the 4 years after treatment; this 3S-percent gain was similar for both soil (prill) and foliar (solution)...

  10. Nitrogen Fertilization Increases Cottonwood Growth on Old-Field Soil

    Nitrogen (150 lb ./acre as NH4N03 ) applied to a 6-year-old eastern cottonwood plantation in an old field on Commerce silt loam soil increased diameter, basal area, and volume growth by 200 percent over untreated controls. The plantation did not respond to 100 pounds P per acre from concentrated superphosphate.

  11. Long-term nitrogen fertilization increases winter injury in montane red spruce foliage (Picea rubens) foliage

    Current-year red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) foliage is predisposed to winter injury by one or more types of anthropogenic pollutants, particularly acidic deposition. The resultant defoliation, when severe and repeated, leads to dieback and eventual mortality of affected red spruce individuals

    Nitrogen additions have caused species composition changes in many ecosystems by facilitating the growth of nitrophilic species. After 24 years of nitrogen fertilization in a 40 year-old stand at the Fernow Experimental Forest (FEF) in Central Appalachia, USA, the cover of Rubus spp. has increased from 1 to 19 % of total herbaceous-layer cover....

  14. The Response of Bareroot Loblolly Pine Seedlings to the Amount and Timing of Nitrogen Fertilization in the Nursery

    A nursery study was conducted to observe the effects of altering the amount of nitrogen fertilizer at each application on bareroot loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedling morphology, survival and growth. The treatments were an equal amount of fertilizer applied each time, an increasing amount each time, and a schedule characterized by low amounts,...

  15. Effect of Fertilization on Growth and Wood Properties of Thinned and Un-thinned Mid-rotation Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Stands

    Growth and wood properties were measured on breast height cores collected from two stands, New Bern and Bertie, located in the lower Coastal Plain of North Carolina. The New Bern site was thinned before fertilizer application, and the Bertie site was not. The study was laid out in a randomized complete block design with each treatment replicated in four blocks at New...

  17. Changes in canopy processes following whole-forest canopy nitrogen fertilization of a mature spruce-hemlock forest

    Most experimental additions of nitrogen to forest ecosystems apply the N to the forest floor, bypassing important processes taking place in the canopy, including canopy retention of N and/or conversion of N from one form to another. To quantify these processes, we carried out a large-scale experiment and determined the fate of nitrogen applied directly to a mature...

  18. Growth response of 35-year-old, site V Douglas-fir to nitrogen fertilizer

    During the first 4 years following application, addition of 200 to 600 pounds of nitrogen per acre increased height increment 62 percent and d.b.h. increment 79 to 160 percent. Gross basal area increment was greater with heavier fertilizer applications, but severe snowbreakage wa also increased. Thus, net production tended to be greatest with the addition of 200...

    A 9-year-old cottonwood plantation near Fitler, Mississippi was fertilized with ammonium nitrate (150 and 300 lbs N/A) in May 1970. Fertilizer increased diameter (b.h.) growth of dominant, codominant, and intermediate crown classes by 109, 174 and 482 percent, respectively. Form class of fertilized trees also increased. On a whole-stem basis, specific gravity declined...

    We examined the effects of N fertilization on forest soil fungal and bacterial biomass at three long-term experiments in New England (Harvard Forest, MA; Mt. Ascutney, VT; Bear Brook, ME). At Harvard Forest, chronic N fertilization has decreased organic soil microbial biomass C (MBC) by an average of 54% and substrate induced respiration (SIR) was decreased by an...
