Soil Rehabilitation Research at the Aleza Lake Research Forest: Techniques for restoring productivity to fine-textured soils

In the BC central interior, fine-textured glaciolacustrine sediments are an important soil parent material on many productive forest sites, particularly along major river valleys such as the Fraser and Nechako. With easy proximity to major transportation routes and wood processing facilities, many such sites were harvested early in the history of logging in this region, long before the advent of soil conservation policies in forestry. Part of the legacy of this early development is that substantial areas of productive growing sites have been converted to landings and other access structures on a scale which would not be consistent by Paul Sanborn , Chuck Bulmer , Dave Coopersmith, Angela Dale , & Dan Erikson
