Summary of ANOVA results for nitrogen pools and net mineralization rates in 10 stands studied in the Glade and Moran fires that burned during summer 2000

Response	Site	Year	Fire severity	Model r2	P
NH4+ pool	*	**	NS	0.62	0.0076
NO3− pool	NS	***	**	0.74	0.0003
Net ammonification	NS	NS	NS	–	NS
Net nitrification	**	P = 0.06	NS	0.55	0.0293
Net N mineralization	NS	NS	NS	–	NS

Analyses tested for effects of site (Glade vs. Moran fires), fire severity (crown vs. severe surface fire), and year (2001 to 2004). For all models, n = 40 and df = 12, 27. Entries indicate significant main effects: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. NS, not significant. There were no significant interactions between main effects.
