Forest, Range, and Wildland Soils: I. General Topics

Oral Session

S07 Forest, Range & Wildland Soils

Many forest, range, and wildland soils topics are on the cutting edge of our science but may not neatly fit into the specialized categories of proposed topical sessions. This session of oral presentations will capture those presentations not related to extreme events, acid rain, or coupled biogeochemical cycles. Common topics might include sustainability of managed FRW soils, prescribed or wildland fire, measuring and monitoring soil C, and many other topics.
