This is a comprehensive study of forest soils for foresters,
wildlife and park managers, ecologists, and others interested in
forest soils. It provides a valuable text for introductory and more
advanced courses. The first ten chapters deal with basic soil
information: texture, structure, and porosity; colour, temperature,
and aeration; water; organic content; biological organisms and
processes; chemistry; fertility; classification; and surveys. The
last six chapters consider the components of the forest soil
systems as related processes, discussing roots, fire, and water and
nutrient cycles as they exist in natural forests and as they are
modified by man. Professor Armson examines the process of forest
soil development, and the place of soil as a part of a continuously
changing landscape from both the historical and ecological
viewpoints. An appendix describes the procedures for soil profile
description and sampling. Full bibliographical references are
supplied.
