Comparison of soil acidification and intensity of podzolization beneath decaying wood versus non-woody forest floors in coastal BC Klinka, Karel; Kayahara, Gordon J.; Chourmouzis, Christine

Abstract

Forest managers concerned with maintaining soil productivity must consider the impacts of forestry practices upon the features of a site. One critical feature is the amount and type of organic matter on a site, which may affect soil development. This study addresses the question of whether CWD accumulations increase the intensity of podzolization, thus reducing the long-term productivity of a site.
