This book provides a balanced coverage of the principles of soil science and their application to management of forest soils. Topics range from classification systems and biological, physical, and chemical properties of soils, to silviculture and current methods of tree nutrition and fertilization. This edition is updated to include new information on long-term productivity, soil management in different forest types, plus new chapters on tropical forest soils and predicting response to cultural practices.
