Disease-Mediated Declines in N-Fixation Inputs by Alnus tenuifolia to Early-Successional Floodplains in Interior and South-Central Alaska

2009-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) fixation by Alnus tenuifolia can account for up to 70% of the N accumulated during vegetation development along river floodplains in interior Alaska. We assessed disease incidence and related mortality of a recent outbreak of fungal stem cankers on A. tenuifolia across three regions in Alaska during the 2005 growing season, and determined the impacts on N-fixation rates, nodule biomass, an...
