Tb32: Evaluation Of Soil Sites For White Pine In Maine, Kenneth G. Stratton, Roland A. Struchtemeyer
Tb32: Evaluation Of Soil Sites For White Pine In Maine, Kenneth G. Stratton, Roland A. Struchtemeyer
Technical Bulletins
To understand environmental combinations required to produce high-quality white pine, studies of both the species and its sites have been undertaken. Increased demands on land use have also stimulated the search for species and varieties of trees that will best adapt themselves to the relatively permanent factors of the site. The purpose of this study, as undertaken originally in 1962, was to add to the basic knowledge of soil factors controlling tree growth and specifically, provide information for evaluation of soil-site quality or white pine. This investigation was designed to consider a wide range of stands, sites, and soil characteristics.

Tb31: The Chemical Properties Of Seven Agricultural Soil Series And Their Relationship To Soil Fertility, Frederick E. Hutchinson
Technical Bulletins
In recognition of the importance of soil in a crop and forest production program, the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station initiated a research project in 1962 to determine the chemical properties of seven important agricultural soil series found in the state (Bangor, Caribou, Charlton, Conant, Buxton, Plaisted, Thorndike). The ultimate goal of the research was to relate the chemical properties of the soil series to the most appropriate fertility practices for their wise economic use.

Eight soil series (Adams, Berkshire, Buxton, Colbath, Creasey, Hartland, Peru, Winooski) were sampled, each at five locations. The soil was sampled and analyzed on a horizon basis. Characteristics measured were organic carbon, moisture retention, water movement, particle size distribution, volume of coarse fragments, bulk density, soil reaction, exchangeable bases and exchangeable acidity. These data are important in the classification and interpretation of the soil resources of Maine.
