Long-term data from the Fernow are highlighted in several major reviews of nitrogen saturation (e.g., Stoddard 1994), included in regional comparisons (e.g., Aber et al. 2003), and summarized in a LTREB-supported synthesis book (Adams et al. 2006).
Publications are grouped chronologically within the following periods:
2004-2009 (Period of LTREB Funding)
2000-2003
1990-1999
1980-1989
1970-1979
1960-1969
1950-1959
Those considered relevant to LTREB funding are ones with results from work done in the Long-Term Soil Productivity Plots or in Watersheds 3, 4, 10, or 13 at the Fernow Experimental Forest. Publications are also included that provide complimentary (e.g. historical) information.
This list is not comprehensive and will be periodically updated.
