Soil health within the Flagstaff Wildland-Urban Interface
US Forest Service, 1 August 1999 - 31 December 2001
Collaborators: Stephen C. Hart, Catherine Gehring
Project Summary: We propose an integrated, multidisciplinary assessment of the impacts of fuel management and restoration activities on the soil ecosystem in ponderosa pine forests of the Flagstaff Wildland-Urban Interface. The primary goal of the research is to determine the consequences of different field management and restoration activities on key aspects of forest floor and mineral soil structure and function.
