dc.description.abstract | The relationship between glacial features, tree communities and soil characteristics was studied at a moraine and two outwash plains on the UMBS property. There was a significant difference found in DBH, nitrogen, juvenile density, moisture, and soil particle size among the three sites (p < 0.05). There was a strong positive correlation between particle size between 0.25 and 0.125 mm and DBH (R2 = .631) and also for particle sizes less than 0.125 and DBH (R2=.685). A moderate correlation was found between juvenile density and proportion of soil particles between 0.25 mm and 0.125 mm (R2=.5322), and juvenile density and porportion of soil particles under 0.125 mm (R2=.5509). Diversity was characterized using four indices: Shannon-Weiner, richness, evenness, and dominance and for adult trees the moraine had the highest diversity, the lowest dominance. For juvenile tree species the eastern outwash plain had the highest diversity and the lowest dominance while richness was the same for adults and juveniles among all sites. | en_US |
