Legacy of salmon-derived nutrients on riparian soil chemistry and soil fertility on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada
Every year, salmon return to their natal streams to spawn. Their return represents an ecosystem subsidy of nutrients and energy from the sea to the land; these materials feed into terrestrial food webs, plant communities, and forest soils. Here we test the long term effects of salmon inputs on soil...
