Lodgepole Pine Ecosystems
Introduction
The study of water and nutrient
fluxes through ecosystems
provides many opportunities
for learning about the biology of organisms
and acquiring information
relevant to land management. In this
paper we present some results for the
lodgepole pine {Pinus contorta ssp.
latifolia [Engelm. ex Wats.] Critchfield)
forest ecosystem, a relatively
simple but widely distributed forest
type in western North America. Our
results from Wyoming add to the
growing body of literature that illustrates
how biotic processes play a key
role in regulating various aspects of
ecosystem structure and function.
