Excerpt from The Relation of Forest Composition and Rate of Growth to Certain Soil Characters<br/><br/>Under the present economic conditions a considerable portion of the land area of Connecticut is potential forest land. It is safe to assume that this will be true always. Therefore the wise use Of forest land is one of our outstanding problems. Good policies must be based on a knowledge Of the underlying facts and these facts are often woefully lacking. In 1923, the Station began an intensive Study of the soils of Connecticut (see Bulletin with the hope Of furnishing a sound basis for our future land policy. The soil is an important forest site factor, although, strangely enough, it often has been overlooked. The problem is a broad one and of necessity must be attacked in detail. The studies here reported deal with certain phases of the relationship Of forests to soils. The investigation was undertaken jointly by the Soils and Forestry Departments of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, under the direct supervision of M. F. Morgan, Agronomist, and H. W. Hicock, Assistant Forester.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth investigation of the forest vegetation found in Connecticut. Throughout history, the forests of this region have been repeatedly cleared and regrown, and the author focuses in particular on the composition of the second-growth forests that have resulted from this. This provides a unique opportunity to study forest development relatively free from the effects of human intervention, which is uncommon in areas with such a long history of human habitation. The author documents the different species that grow on the various soil types in the region. As the soil type strongly influences the composition of the forest vegetation, this book provides new insights into the factors that have shaped the forests of this area. Anyone interested in forest ecology will find insights into how forests develop free from human influence in this detailed and scientifically rigorous study.
