  3. Leaching of nitrogen from the rooting zone following urea fertilization and potential impacts on surface water quality. Cynthia M. Flint Final words in Cindy’s thesis: “We conclude, therefore, that if forests are managed in a way that minimizes N runoff to stream water, managed forests are an essential part of maintaining a healthy Hood Canal watershed.”

  4. Nitrogen Carryover Historical data Initial characterization (1998-2000) Last fertilizations >10 years previous Continued seedling growth monitoring

  5. TREE GROWTH • Regional Mean DBH 2006 • Fertilized is 28% Greater • p-value = 0.04 • Regional Mean Height 2006 • Fertilized is 15% Greater • p-value = 0.06

  6. CARRYOVER PROJECT 2007 SUMMARY Understory Vegetation • Mean Regional Biomass • Fertilized: 73% Greater • p-value = 0.005 • Mean Regional N-Content • Fertilized: 97% Greater • p-value = 0.004
