About the Book

Forest productivity and the factors which influence it have been the underlying theme uniting the seven previous North American Forest Soil Conferences which have occurred at 5-year intervals since the series was initiated in 1958. While that theme continues into this eighth conference, the focus has been directed to the single factor that in many ways describes, defines, and delineates the study of forest soils as a unique niche in the broader continuum of soil science. In their preface to the proceedings of the third North American Forest Soils Conference C. T. Youngberg and C.B. Davey noted that "the growth of the tree and the productivity of the forest are directly affected by the quantity, quality and location of the soil." Soil carbon in its myriad forms, perhaps as no other factor, influences soil-plant relationships through its direct and indirect impacts on mineral solubility, exchange capacity, nutrient availability, moisture supply, aggregate formation, and soil erosion. Hans Jenny, in his classic equation describing the factors of soil formation, placed organic matter in a pivotal role in the development of the soil and soil properties as well as the succession of associated plant communities. Since the previous conference many changes in our approach to the management and preservation of the forest resource have occurred. Most significant of these developments has been the growing emphasis placed on understanding and manipulating forests as ecological units. Paralleling and to some extent driving this move toward an ecological focus has been the renewed realization of the important and dynamic nature of the interaction between the physical and biological resources. The role of forest soils, as well as the aboveground portion of the forest, as significant buffers against the impacts of anthropogenic activities on atmospheric carbon dioxide and the earth's energy balance has driven home the necessity of continuing to develop and refine our knowledge of the interactions of soils, plants, and the environment in which they exist.
