Impacts of old, comparatively stable, treethrow microtopography on soils and forest dynamics in the northern hardwoods of Michigan, USA

Original language description

Uprooting represents a key disturbance process in forests, forming pit-mound microtopography, which can then dramatically impact pedogenesis and the forest ecology. At our study sites in northern Michigan, where welldrained, sandy Spodosols dominate, pit-mound microtopography tends to persist for millennia. Because of its persistence, the influence of this type of microtopography is greater here than in most forests. In that respect,our sites represent an end member along a continuum of forest soil disturbance by uprooting. We studied post-uprooting pedogenesis (at 14 dated pit-mound pairs), mapped and characterized the pit-mound topography(over 2,8 ha), the soils below (within 317 soil profiles), and the trees above, to better understand the complexinteractions among this type of disturbance regime and forest dynamics.We used a pair correlation function and chi-square test approach to study the relationships between treethrow features and the living trees at one of these sites.
