Ecological Silviculture Workshop: Soils and Landforms

This workshop covers relationships between soils, landforms, and plant community development as well as goes over some common tools and sources of information. Includes classroom presentations and hands-on activities in the lab.

Over the course of the day, registrants will:

• Understand the basic relationships between glacial history, landforms, soils, and native plant communities (to the extent we can!)
• Understand soil characteristics and how forest operations can impact them, changing future system development trajectory
• Be able to access and interpret (understand limitations of) major sources of soil and landform data, such as Web Soil Survey, shaded relief maps, etc.
