Carbon controls on spodosol nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus cycling

Focuses on hardwood and coniferous forests that have developed on Spodosols in cool temperate to boreal climates. The objectives of this paper are to: (i) examine the translocation and chemistry of organic C, N, S, and P in forest floor leachates and mineral soil solutions; (ii) discuss the solid and solution chemistry of organic matter found in the forest floor and spodic horizons; (iii) examine the components of the C cycle and (iv) discuss a conceptual biogeochemical model. -Authors
