This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1057 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil acidity is a major limitation to crop production in many parts of the world. Plant growth inhibition results from a combination of factors, including aluminum, manganese, and hydrogen ion toxicities and deficiencies of essential elements, particularly calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and molybdenum. Agricultural management practices and acid precipitation have increased acid inputs into the ecosystem and heightened concern about soil acidity problems. While application of lime has proved to be effective in ameliorating surface soil acidity in many areas, significant soil acidity problems still exist. Scientists from Alberta, Canada, recognized the need to provide a forum for researchers from different disciplines to exchange information and ideas on solving problems of plant growth in acid soils. As a result of their efforts, the First International Symposium on Plant-Soil Interactions at Low pH was held at Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, in July 1987. In many acid soil areas, liming materials are not readily available, the cost may be prohibitive, or subsoil acidity cannot be corrected by surface application of lime. New management approaches involving both the plant and the soil are needed in these situations. Progress has been made in the selection and breeding of acid-tolerant plants. However, continued progress will be limited by our lack of understanding of the physiological and biochemical basis of differential acidity tolerance among plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A phytosociological investigation was conducted in a virgin northern hardwood-spruce- fir forest in the lower elevations of the Bowl in the White Mountains of New Hampshire to determine the structure and dynamics of relatively small units of the forest. There is no evidence that the composition of the present forest has been influenced by human activity or fire, though portions of the present community demonstrate the effects of catastrophic damage caused by a severe hurricane in 1815. Forty-five 20- by 30-m plots ranging in elevation from 586 to 920 m were studied. Tree densities ranged from 685 to 3,851 stems/ha, basal areas from 22.0 to 60.5 m21ha, and shrub-seedling densities from 0.15 x 105 to 2.27 x 105 stems/ha. Bray and Curtis ordination was used to position the plots on the X and Y axes of a vegetational mosaic. The primary differentiating species were Picea rubens and Acer saccharum on the X axis and Betula alleghaniensis and Fagus grandifolia on the Y axis. The ordination was divided into seven subjectively defined plot clusters based primarily on the size-class distributions of four major tree species found in each plot. Cluster A represents a high-elevation, stable Picea abies unit. Cluster B represents a lower elevation, edaphically controlled Picea-Abies-Fagus grandifolia- Betula alleghaniensis unit which is projected to develop into a Picea-Abies-Fagus grandifolia unit. Clusters C to G represent stages in a successional sequence initiated by a catastrophic blowdown. The sequence is postulated to start with a Betula alleghaniansis Reproduction-Sapling unit, none of which was observed in the present forests of the Bowl. This stage develops into an All-Sized Immature Betula alleghaniensis unit (Cluster C) followed by a Mature Betula alleghaniensis/Sapling Acer saccharum-Fagus grandifolia unit (Cluster D). Then, depending on tree density, will follow a Mature Fagus grandifolia/Residual Decadent Betula alleghaniensis unit (Cluster E) or a Mixed Acer saccharum-Fagus grandifolia/Residual Decadent Betula alleghaniensis unit (Cluster F). Cluster F develops into a Decadent Acer saccharum-Fagus grandifolia unit (Cluster G). This and the unit represented by Cluster E could develop into a Hypothetical Decadent Fagus grandifolia/Acer saccharurn unit.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2Clearcutting of northern hardwood forests in New Hampshire resulted in accelerated loss of dissolved nutrients to streams similar to that shown in experimental studies at Hubbard Brook. Stream water samples were collected during 4 years from nine watersheds that had been completely clearcut and from five nearby reference watersheds that were uncut. Differences in stream chemistry between clearcut and reference watersheds were greatest during the second year after cutting. During the 4 years of the study, specific conductance of the reference streams ranged from 20 to 30 [mu] S/cm; average pH ranged from 5.0 to 5.7; nitrate ranged from less than 0.1 to about 4.0 mg/l; calcium from 1.0 to 3.0 mg/l; ammonium from less than 0.01 to 0.05 mg/l; magnesium from 0.2 to 0.8 mg/l; sodium from 0.6 to 1.6 mg/l; potassium from 0.1 to 0.7 mg/l; sulfate from 3.0 to 8.0 mg/l; and chloride from 0.3 to 0.6 mg/l. During the second year after clearcutting, specific conductance of streams draining the cuts ranged from 22 to 68 [mu] S/cm; average pH ranged from 5.1 to 6.0; nitrate ranged from 1.4 to 27.3 mg/l; calcium from 1.4 to 6.7 (ng/l; ammonium from less than 0.01 to 0.05 mg/l; magnesium from 0.3 to 1.4 mg/l; sodium from 0.8 to 3.0 mg/l; potassium from 0.1 to 1.5 mg/l; sulfate from 2.1 to 6.3 mg/l; and chloride from 0.4 to 0.9 mg/l. During the first year after cutting, streams from the cuts were more acidic than those from the reference streams; however, they were less acidic by the end of the second year. Concentrations of most ions in streams from clearcuts approached reference levels by the end of the fourth year after clearcutting, though streams from clearcuts remained less acidic by nearly a whole pH unit, sulfate remained depressed, and potassium remained elevated. During the 4 years following cutting, stream exports from cut sites exceeded those from reference sites by 57 kg/ha for inorganic nitrogen, 61 kg/ha for calcium, and 15 kg/ha for potassium.S3.
