Nutrient Input By Precipitation In Northern Minnesota Forest Ecosystem, Nicholas B. Comerford, Edwin H. White Jan 1976

Nutrient Input By Precipitation In Northern Minnesota Forest Ecosystem, Nicholas B. Comerford, Edwin H. White

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Yearly precipitation was sampled and analyzed for total content of N, P, K, Ca and Mg to assess the role of gross precipitation in adding nutrient elements to sites in northern Minnesota. Data from this study is part of a larger effort to determine the effects of mechanized harvesting on the nutrient cycle. Data from the present study indicate that it is unlikely that total yearly precipitation will be able to maintain adequate levels of site productivity on areas that are full-tree harvested. Total yearly nutrient income in lbs/acre was N - 3.9; P - .23; K - 2.29; Ca …

Wood-Rotting Basidiomycetes--Itasca State Park Annotated List, Robert L. Gilbertson, Frances F. Lombard

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

This study reports 216 species of wood-rotting Basidiomycetes from Lake Itasca State Park in Minnesota. Of these, two species, Gloeocystidiellum heimii Boid. and Phanerochaete cumulodentata (Nikol) Parm., are reported for the first time from North America.
