"Purposes of the workshop were to review present and planned programs of research with...
B and C horizon samples from twenty four selected profiles along
a north-south transect in the Willamette Valley were examined for
possible correlation between shrinkage properties and kind of clay
minerals present.
Observations of linear shrinkage, weight loss from a condition
of maximum plasticity, and changing character of X-ray diffraction...
The study was conducted on the Ochoco National Forest in
central Oregon. Vegetation-soil relationships were evaluated for the
following objectives: 1. Develop a sound ecological foundation on
