Abstract

The Long-Term Soil Productivity (LTSP) Study (Ministry of Forests E.P.1148) seeks to understand the long-term impacts of organic matter removals and soil compaction on tree growth and other ecosystem processes (Powers et al.,1990). The core LTSP experimental design includes 3 levels of organic matter removal:
- OM1: merchantable boles only (Photo 1)
- OM2: merchantable boles + logging slash (Photo 2)
- OM3: merchantable boles + slash + forest floor
