In subalpine forests, high\u2010severity wildfires produce high variability in postfire tree density, but how this variability relates to nitrogen (N) cycling remains unclear. We resampled lodgepole pine (\n                    <jats:italic>Pinus contorta<\/jats:italic>\n                    var.\n                    <jats:italic>latifolia<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) stands 35\u2009years after stand\u2010replacing fire and asked (1) how N concentrations, pools, and mineralization changed with increasing lodgepole pine biomass from 15 to 35\u2009years postfire; (2) how N concentrations, pools, and rates of change varied across the gradient of early postfire stand density; and (3) whether among\u2010stand structure and function were converging over time. Vegetation, forest floor litter, downed coarse wood, surface mineral soil (0\u201315\u2009cm), and resin\u2010sorbed N were measured in fourteen 0.25\u2010ha plots in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, USA). From 25 to 35\u2009years postfire, average total aboveground N pools increased from 252 to 405\u2009kg\u2009N\u2009ha\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    . Over the same 10\u2010year period, soil N pools averaged 986\u2009kg\u2009N\u2009ha\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    and did not change, resin\u2010sorbed soil N remained low, and the only common symbiotic N\u2010fixing plant in the plots (silvery lupine,\n                    <jats:italic>Lupinus argenteus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) remained sparse.

Among\u2010stand variation in stem density remained high but declined over time while N pools became less variable even as pools increased and variability in tree productivity increased from 25 to 35\u2009years postfire.
