With support from the Muskwa-Kechika Trust Fund as a Seed Grant, Dr. Paul Sanborn carried out a pilot study of soils in relation to prescribed burning in the Northern Rocky Mountains, in collaboration with Perry Grilz, then a Range Officer in the Ministry of Forests. Sanborn and Grilz conducted 3 days of field work in July 2001. Sanborn wanted to test the utility of plant-derived opal (phytoliths) as a soil indicator of vegetation history, in the hope of distinguishing natural grasslands from those created by anthropogenic burning.

This digital document is a scanned PDF of a Prince George Forest Region Forest Research Note #PG-12: "Experimental Project 660 - Overview of Three Experimental Installations - A 30-year Progress Report".

This document contains pedon descriptions for sites BC07-03 & BC07-04 for Sanborn's comparative study of grassland soils in the Boreal Cordillera ecozone.

This document contains transcribed August 2007 field notes from 5 observation sites for Sanborn's comparative study of grassland soils in the Boreal Cordillera ecozone.

Forest soil sulphur research was a continuing interest for Dr. Paul Sanborn for more than 30 years, beginning at UBC in the mid-1980s when he took a graduate course in Forest Soils from Dr. Tim Ballard. Among the things that he learned was that soils in much of BC were deficient in sulphur (S). Simultaneously, he became aware of the large amount of research on prescribed fire in BC forests, with broadcast burning being the main method of site preparation across much of the province at that time.

Sanborn undertook various projects in this area of research:

1. UBC Postdoctoral Project on effects of prescribed fire on sulphur in forest soils (1988-90)
2. Cluculz retrospective study (E.P. 886.10) with the BC Ministry of Forests and UNBC
3. Sulphur stable isotope tracer study (E.P. 886.15) with the BC Ministry of Forests and UNBC
