Mechanical Mastication of Utah Juniper Encroaching Sagebrush Steppe Increases Inorganic Soil N by Kert R. Young, Bruce A. Roundy, Dennis L. Eggett

“…Bare interspaces had 3.0–3.4 times higher inorganic N than interspaces covered with masticated trees during late-summer through winter (P<0.01). Soil fertility changes associated with mastication were not considered sufficient to favor establishment of annual over perennial grasses, and we expect both to increase in cover following juniper mastication.…”
