Soil community responses to Biomass Harvesting in the hemi-boreal zone
This project investigates the effects of intensification of forest harvesting on biotic soil components. Soils were sampled from Control, Stem-Only harvesting, Full-Tree harvesting, Stump removal and Blading plots in a Jack Pine stand near Island Lake in Chapleau, Ontario, Canada. They were sequenced for 16S, ITS and CO1 genes.
