The BC Ministry of Forest's EP 1148 Long-term Soil Productivity (LTSP) study addresses two key factors— soil porosity and site organic matter—that potentially limit tree growth and site productivity in the timber-harvesting land base and that can be affected by forestry operations.

This establishment report for EP 1148, "The effects of soil compaction and organic matter retention on long-term soil productivity in British Columbia (Experimental Project 1148)", is accompanied by a floppy disk containing 12 data sets (see 2023.2.2.11.2).

This 3.5" floppy contains the following EP 1148 .TXT data sets from 1995-1997:

• sbsapc.txt "Long-term soil productivity study, Sub-Boreal Spruce" Intact soil cores
• sbsbd.txt "Long-term soil productivity study, Sub-Boreal Spruce" Bulk density mineral soil 0-20cm
• sbsffc.txt "Long-term Soil Productivity Study, Sub-boreal Spruce" SBS forest floor bulk density and mass3
• sbsfc.txt "Long-term Soil Productivity Study, Sub-boreal spruce" SBS forest floor chemistry
• sbsmc.txt "Long-term Soil Productivity Study, Sub-boreal Spruce sites" SBS mineral soil chemistry
• sbskgff.txt "Long-term soil productivity study, Sub-boreal spruce zone" SBS forest floor nutrient mass in kg/ha
• sbskgmm.txt "Long-term soil productivity study, Sub-boreal spruce" SBS mineral nutrient mass in kg/ha
• sbsom.txt "Long-term Soil Productivity Study, SBS" "SBS bole-only treatment, slash levels"
• sbscr.txt "Long-term soil productivity study, Sub-boreal spruce zone" Timber cruise of initial stands
• sbshtcr.txt "Long-term soil productivity study, SBS" Age vs height curves - pretreatment data (mature stand)

A comparative study of grassland soils at 3 sites in northwestern BC and southern Yukon was published as:
Sanborn, P. 2010. Topographically controlled grassland soils in the Boreal Cordillera ecozone, northwestern Canada. Canadian Journal of Soil Science 90: 89-101. https://doi.org/10.4141/CJSS09048

This grew out of a field trip with Ministry of Forests range personnel to the Stikine and Tuya River valleys, near Telegraph Creek BC on August 27-28, 2007. (Two pedons were sampled in 2007, BC07-03 and BC07-04, but those results were not included in the paper.)

In August 2008, Dr. Paul Sanborn returned to the Stikine to sample pedon BC08-06, after field work in Yukon which collected the other two pedons used in the paper, from near Carmacks (Y08-39) and Kluane Lake (Y08-41). (An additional pedon from Kluane, Y08-43, was sampled and analyzed, but it was from a forested site and was not included in the paper.)

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 location and vegetation notes for 5 observation sites 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.

This document contains soil descriptions taken from BC and Yukon sites in 2008 for Sanborn's comparative study of grassland soils in the Boreal Cordillera ecozone.
