- Effect of gap size on litter decomposition and soil nitrate concentrations in a high-elevation spruce-fir forest (2003, result): “However, the evidence for faster decomposition in clearcuts is inconsistent (Prescott et al. 2000), with rates in clearcuts reported to be faster, slower, or the same as those in uncut forests.”
- Direct and indirect ecosystem consequences of an invasive pest on forests dominated by eastern hemlock (2002, background): “…logging are important secondary disturbances associated with forest pest outbreaks that often lead to a more rapid removal of the host species and more severe disruptions in microenvironmental conditions and ecosystem processes than the pest itself (Irland et al., 1988; Radeloff et al., 2000).”
- Factors controlling decomposition rates of fine root litter in temperate forests and grasslands (2014, background): “Higher temperature andmoisture in more heavily thinned forests can further result in faster root decomposition although responses may vary among forests of different dominant tree species (Cortina and Vallejo 1994; Prescott et al. 2000).”
- Microbial biomass, nitrogen and phosphorus mineralization, and mesofauna in boreal conifer and deciduous forest floors following partial and clear-cut harvesting (2003, background): “However, many studies exhibit no consistent or overall pattern of decomposition rates in clearcut forest floors (Prescott et al. 2000).”
- Soil CO 2 efflux from a podzolic forest soil before and after forest clear-cutting and site preparation (2004, methodology): “However, according to Berg et al. (1984) and Prescott et al. (2000a, 2000b), the decomposition rate of litter is not linear, instead slowing down over time.”
