| nitrogen uptake in riparian plant communities across a sharp ecological boundary of salmon density. | recent studies of anadromous salmon (oncorhynchus spp.) on the pacific coast of north america indicate an important and previously unrecognized role of salmonid nutrients to terrestrial biota. however, the extent of this uptake by primary producers and consumers and the influences on community structure remain poorly described. we examine here the contribution of salmon nutrients to multiple taxa of riparian vegetation (blechnum spicant, menziesii ferruginea, oplopanax horridus, rubus spectabili ... | 2003 | 12729462 |
