FOREST SOILS AND SITE INDEX Updated 10/2/95 Soil quality is the most important factor in forest management decisions. Soils will determine which tree species yields the greatest timber volume, the time to harvest, and ultimately, the investment a landowner must make to yield an acceptable economic return from forest management. Soils vary greatly in their ability to produce merchantable volumes of pulpwood, sawtimber, veneer, poles, piling or other wood products in a reasonable period of ti ...

Soil-Forming Minerals and Rocks, and the Weathering Process Soil is primarily the result of disintegration and decomposition of the minerals contained within rocks. The kind of soil and its nutrient status found in a given locality is a function of the material from which it weathered, referred to as 'parent material' of the soil. You can begin to appreciate the importance of geology to the study of soil. The purpose of this lab is to provide an understanding of weathering processes. The te ...
