 | | Abstract: The distribution of Myrica cerifera-, Elaeagnus umbellata-, and Alnus glutinosa-infective Frankia (MciF, EuiF, and AgiF) was determined in soils from five locations in central Illinois using a plant infection dilution technique. |
 | | N mineralization rates were measured repeatedly over a one year period using in situ incubations of soil cores in oxygen-permeable polyethylene bags at 0-10 and 10-20 cm soil depths, and also by burying mixed-bed ion-exchange resin in soil. |
 | | Elaeagnus plots at one location yielded 236 kg of mineral N/ha/yr in the upper 20 cm of soil, a value higher than previously reported for temperate deciduous forest soils in North America. |
