Phosphorus cycling in a northern hardwood forest: biological and chemical control [Biological and biochemical processes in the soil; New Hampshire]

Phosphorus is tightly conserved within the northern hardwood forest ecosystems at Hubbard Brook, New Hampshire. Detailed analyses of the soil system indicate that biological and geochemical processes, stratified within the profile, regulate phosphorus retention.
