Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profiles in the History of the U.S. Soil Survey offers a broad-ranging collection of essays chronicling the development of the U.S. Soil Survey and its influence on the history of soil survey as a scientific discipline that focuses on mapping, analysis, and description of soils. Appraises the influences of key individuals and institutions on the establishment of federal support for and coordination of U.S. soil surveys. Provides an account of life in the field, detailing experience shared by many soil scientists and survey processionals. Reviews the opening of careers in soil survey to women and African-Americans. Relates aspects of the utility of the soil survey to other federal services, to other fields of research, and to land-use planning. Discusses the future of the U.S. Soil Survey and the new directions both the survey and its uses will take. Soil scientists and other soil survey professionals will find this collection valuable both for the new research it provides and for the memories it preserves of life and work in the field and laboratory. Historians will increasingly turn their attention to this crucial earth science as the intriguing connections between soils, the environment, and human history become more apparent. Teachers, students, and agriculturalists will also appreciate this detailed account of the Soil Survey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Montreal Process was formed in 1994 to develop an internationally agreed upon set of criteria and indicators for the conservation and sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests. In response to this effort, the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) and Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) programs of the USDA Forest Service have implemented a national soil monitoring program to address specific questions related to: (1) the current and future status of soil resources and (2) the contribution of forest soils to the global carbon cycle. As the first and only nationally consistent effort to monitor forest soil quality in the United States, this program provides critical baseline information on the current status of the soil resource and the potential effects of natural and human disturbance on forest health and productivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils and other resource programs in both public land management agencies and private industry are continually being adapted to the challenges of evolving knowledge and experience in the field of forestry. This dissertation explores new ways of thinking about and using soils information in forest planning and management, with a focus on Pacific Northwest lands. At the core of this work are the concepts of soil quality, in particular, the applications of inherent and dynamic soil quality. These soil quality concepts can be used as both a planning tool to improve our understanding and assessment of land-use decisions and as an assessment tool to evaluate the sustainability of different management practices. The result is two very different types of soil interpretations based on inherent and dynamic soil quality concepts which are applied at different times and for different purposes during forest planning and management. Forest planning soil interpretations that are based upon inherent soil quality are used primarily to make land use allocations and related decisions. These interpretations are applied up-front in the forest planning process and are based on the fact that different soils vary widely in their inherent capacity to perform various ecological and utilitarian functions. By both recognizing different soil types in the local landscape and understanding how those various soils naturally function, managers can use inherent soil interpretations to better match land management objectives to soil types that have a high capacity to meet those objectives. Matching soil potentials to the appropriate land management actions in this manner helps to assure management actions will be both attainable and sustainable over the long term. Soil interpretations that are based upon dynamic soil quality differ from those based upon inherent soil quality in that dynamic soil interpretations are primarily used to assess the sustainability of management practices. These interpretations identify different soils' resistance and resilience to disturbances and use soil-based indicators of key soil functions to make assessments of the effects of different disturbances. A conceptual "forest planning and management model" is presented that illustrates applications of these soil quality concepts in the forest planning process. Concepts and practical applications of the conceptual model are illustrated in current forest level planning projects within the US Forest Service (FS) Region 6. Soil disturbance monitoring was also conducted in recently managed areas and used to both provide a practical procedure for monitoring soil porosity changes and to present a case for updating current directives and guidelines for FS Region 6 Soil Quality Standards. It is my hope that this work will be of value to both soil scientists and other forest resource specialists and managers. Perhaps one of the more significant contributions that may come of this work is that it may help soil scientists and others to be inspired through a better understanding of the "value added" when soils information is considered in new and effective ways. It is also my hope that this work provides some of the practical ideas and tools necessary to take advantage of opportunities to apply knowledge of the soil resource in future forest planning and management.
Download or read book Soil and Plant Analysis for Forest Ecosystem Characterization written by Daniel John Vogt and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an overview of physical, chemical and biological methods used to analyze soils and plant tissue using an ecosystem perspective. The current emphasis on climate change has recognized the importance of including soil carbon as part of our carbon budgets. Methods to assess soils must be ecosystem based if they are to have utility for policy makers and managers wanting to change soil carbon and nutrient pools. Most of the texts on soil analyis treat agriculture and not forest soils and these methods do not transfer readily to forests because of their different chemistry and physical properties. This manual presents methods for soil and plant analysis with the ecosystem level approach that will reduce the risk that poor management decisions will be made in forests. This manual was intended for the instructors that teach students soil and plant analyses; however it can also be used by the research laboratories and by environmental scientists. The laboratory procedures in this manual are outlined in easy-to-follow steps and frequently accompanied with examples of calculations, questions to answer, and also a blank data sheet to use. These methods used in this manual can be used on soil and plant tissues found in agricultural, horticulture, forestry, urban, and natural lands.
