摘要: The effects of air pollution and timber harvesting on soil resources continue to be an important issue in eastern hardwood forests. This publication describes the Fork Mountain Long-term Soil Productivity Study (LTSP), located Fernow Experimental Forest, WV, pretreatment stand, climatic conditions. Extensive vegetation surveys, biomass determinations, site characterization, analyses physical chemical characteristics are described herein. LTSP is, based most metrics, a highly productive with vegetative diversity typical second growth Appalachian Other than relatively low nutrient levels, suggest few problems regeneration. Based characteristics, may susceptible leaching base cations as result high levels acidic deposition. particularly calcium, varied across spatially, but accommodated experimental design. We monitor response this ecosystem these treatments. Values Table 15, page 19, were corrected Feb. 10, 2011.
