Composition, Biomass and Nutrient Distribution in Mature Northern Hardwood and Boreal Forest Stands, Michigan
Rutkowski DR and Stottlemyer R. 1993. Composition, Biomass and Nutrient Distribution in Mature Northern Hardwood and Boreal Forest Stands, Michigan. The American Midland Naturalist. 130(1):13-30
The objective of the study was to compare the above-ground vegetation stand structure and composition in two watershed ecosystems located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and on Isle Royale National Park, one dominated by mature boreal forest and the other by mature northern hardwoods, and quantify biomass and nutrient content of ecosystem components. Overall, the biomass in northern hardwoods had the larger nutrient content.
