“…Furthermore, trees in plantations were more vigorous than in natural stands, because they were younger but larger (Table 1). Trees originating from plantations often come from improved seed stocks, and soil resources in these clayey plantations may have been less limiting than in the sandy natural stands (Wilde et al, 1964; Bell, 1991). When growth is not limited by nutrients, water, or light availability, trees can increase their production of photosynthates (Salisbury and Ross, 1992).…”

“…In contrary, finer textures appear to result in increased quantities of forest floor nutrients mostly because of more productive trees. Separating the role of soil physical characteristics versus fertility on tree productivity is often difficult due to the co-varying nature and influence of these properties (Wilde et al 1964). Increased nutrient availability, which may be associated with soils of finer textures, can contribute to increased tree productivity (Foster and Morrison 1983), litter nutrient concentrations (Prescott et al 2000), and forest floor nutrient quantity (Vesterdal and Raulund-Rasmussen 1998).…”

Brunisolic soils developed on sandy deposits comprise a significant portion of the land disturbed by surface mining in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region. These soils support forest communities ranging from nutrient limited jack pine to more productive aspen stands. The objective of this study was to determine if and how the physical properties of these sandy soils influence the accumulation and distribution of soil nutrients. Sixteen sites, selected to capture the natural range in forest productivity of the area, were characterized to assess particle size distribution, total and available nutrient stocks in forest floors, total C and N, and extractable nutrients in B horizons. Under jack pine, relatively small decreases in sand content of the upper soil profiles, from 97% to 88%, were associated with greater total nutrient stocks and lower C/N ratios in the forest floors. In soils under aspen, forest floor nutrient stocks related most strongly with texture of the B horizons, with finer B horizons (from 94% to 78% sand) leading to larger forest floor nutrient stocks. These results indicate that textural characteristics play an important role in nutrient cycling of these sandy soils and should be a primary focus during their reclamation.Résumé : Dans la région des sables bitumineux de l'Athabasca, les brunisols nés de dépôts sablonneux représentent une part importante des terres perturbées par l'exploitation minière à ciel ouvert. Divers peuplements forestiers se sont développés sur ces sols, allant du pin gris, quand le sol est relativement pauvre, au tremble, plus productif. Les auteurs voulaient établir si les propriétés physiques d'un sol sablonneux exercent une influence sur l'accumulation et la distribution des oligoéléments, et de quelle manière, si c'est effectivement le cas. Ils ont donc sélectionné seize sites pour saisir l'éventail naturel de la productivité forestière dans la région et les ont caractérisés afin d'évaluer la répartition granulométrique, les réserves totales d'éléments nutritifs et d'oligoéléments disponibles dans le plancher forestier, la concentration totale de C et de N, et la concentration de nutriments extractibles dans les horizons B. Dans les peuplements de pin gris, on a associé une diminution relativement bénigne de la concentration de sable dans les profils supérieurs (de 97 à 88 %) à une plus grande réserve globale d'oligoéléments et à un rapport C/N plus faible dans le sol forestier. Dans les sols supportant un peuplement de trembles, le stock de nutriments du plancher forestier était le plus étroitement corrélé avec la texture de l'horizon B, une granulométrie plus fine (94 à 78 % de sable) autorisant une meilleure accumulation d'éléments nutritifs. Ces résultats indiquent que la texture influe fortement le cycle des nutriments dans les sols sablonneux, et qu'on ne devrait absolument pas négliger cet aspect dans les efforts de restauration.

Suitability of young jack pine as a host for jack pine budworm was examined on similarly-aged trees growing on two areas previously burned in wildfires and on two previously clearcut areas in northwest Wisconsin. Nitrogen, monoterpenes, and moisture levels of foliage, and xylem water potential were measured and related to larval survival and pupal weight of caged jack pine budworm larvae. Nitrogen, monoterpenes, needle weight, and needle moisture were higher in trees growing on clearcut sites than on burned area trees. Surival of budworms to early and late instar, pupation, and adult eclosion was greater for larvae caged on clearcut-area trees than on burned-area trees. Female pupal weight differed between older (ca 10 years old) and younger (ca 8 years old) trees, but not between clearcut and burned areas. Mean female pupal weight was greatest on lownitrogen trees, where larval survival was lowest. Foliar nitrogen was consistently included as a significant predictor in budworm survival regressions. Regressions indicated larval survival and pupal weight may be associated with different tree- and foliage-related traits. Results suggest long-lasting effects of previous forest disturbance may subsequently affect herbivorous insects such as jack pine budworm.
