Abstract:

Soil chemistry was examined in an old-growth temperate rain forest in the Hoh River valley on the northwest Washington coast 32 km from the Pacific Ocean.

Purpose:

The major objective of this study was to examine soil chemistry in an old-growth temperate rain forest.

Methodology_Description:

Soil samples for chemical analyses were taken from the O horizon, and from the 0 to 4 cm depth (BA horizon) and 5 to 40 cm depth (Bw horizon) depths of the mineral soil at three locations in the upper and lower watershed. Samples were placed in a cooler and transported to the analytical laboratory at the College of Forest Resources, University of Washington, where they were air dried after the extraction of NH4 and NO3.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Available N (NH4 and NO3) was determined on moist field samples immediately upon arrival at the laboratory using 1 M KCl extraction (Keeney and Nelson 1982) and a Technicon Autoanalyzer II (Technicon, Tarrytown, NY). Samples were then air-dried for other analyses; moisture correction was applied by drying a subsample at 105°C. Total C was determined using a Leco C analyzer (Leco Corp., St. Joseph, MI). Total N was determined using an H2SO4/LiSO4/H2O2/Se digestion (Parkinson and Allen 1975) and a Technicon Atomic Absorption Analyzer II (Technicon, Tarrytown, NY). Phosphorus (Bray No. 1) was determined using the method of (Jackson 1958) and a Technicon Autoanalyzer II (Technicon, Tarrytown, NY). Sodium, K, Ca, Mg, and Al were determined with 1 M NH4Cl extraction and an IL 951 Atomic Absorption Analyzer (Instrumentation Laboratory, Wilmington, MA). Cation exchange capacity was determined by extraction with 1 M NH4Cl and a saturation wash with 1 M KCl (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, EPRI Forest Response Program Protocol). A 1:1 soil:H20 paste was used for determination of pH with a Radiometer PHM 85 pH meter.
