Miombo woodland and dambo grassland soils were selected to study the effect of soil transfer on early growth of B. petersiana, C. spectabilis, and C. calothyrsus on degraded sites in northern Zambia. The experiment was conducted on previously slash and burned, cultivated, and abandoned sites. Both sterile and unsterile miombo...

The purpose of this study was to examine certain hydrologic
properties of the soil and subsoil on a steep forested slope and relate
these -rceTties to the movement of water via subsurface routes.
The hydrologic properties examined were bulk density, soil texture,
total porosity, pore size distribution, saturated hydraulic conductivity,...
The understory vegetation was sampled in eight plant communities
of a Douglas-fir ecosystem to determine the organic matter
production and mineral composition.
Four sample sites were selected in each plant community and
the understory vegetation sampled using the method of quadrats of
successively increasing size. All herbaceous plants were separated...

Maritime cyclonic windstorms cause widespread disturbance to forested ecosystems in southeast Alaska. The consequence of this disturbance process on the movement, storage, and quality of soil carbon, forest hydrology and streamwater chemistry was studied along a windthrow disturbance sequence. Soil profiles were described and the thickness of the major organic...
