Caption describing photograph: "Typical bark form. 9.3" DBH"
Caption describing photograph: "Typical of general opinion of growth and form of Black Spruce. Associated with poorly drained saucer shaped terrain. Organic soil developed over impervious clay. Ht 35', 5-7" DBH age 120 years. Prince George Airport Road." Harry Coates stands in the photograph for scale.
Caption describing photograph: "Typical Devils Club site, imperfectly drained silty clay. West Branch Road, F.E.S. Aleza Lake."
Caption describing photograph: "Typical of extensive cultivation of Bednesti silty loams and silt in Wright Creek and Salmon River Area. Forage crops, seed timothy, grains and root crops. Much of lacustrine deposits within 20 mile radius have this potential."
Photographer's photo number R883. Caption on back of photograph states: "Typical patch of old windfall in cutting in X9696."
Caption describing photograph: "Typical residual after clear cutting and scarifying. West Branch, F.E.S. Aleza Lake. (Strip 1N SE Cor). Residual stems damaged B understory, occasional poor quality Spruce. Old growth birch generally with complete cover of alder (15') Thimbleberry and AD."
Caption describing photograph: "Typical Spruce-Balsam tree length logs from mature Spruce-Balsam types. T.F.L. 29 at Giscome S/M/." Harry Coates stands in the photograph for scale.

During a year away from studies in 1987-88, Dr. Paul Sanborn developed a successful grant proposal to the Science Council of BC (SCBC) to pursue a postdoctoral project with Dr. Tim Ballard in relation to sulphur-deficient soils in BC and prescribed fire. This project built on an existing broadcast burning study conducted by Macmillan Bloedel Ltd. near Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, led by Bill Beese (later at Vancouver Island University). Dr. Sanborn's work addressed sulphur forms and amounts in the soils at these sites, and the chemical processes influencing sulphur availability in relation to prescribed fire.
Only one part of this work was eventually published:
Sanborn, P.T. and T.M. Ballard. 1991. Combustion losses of sulphur from conifer foliage: Implications of chemical form and soil nitrogen status. Biogeochemistry 12: 129–134.

The remainder of the work was documented in the Project Completion Report to SCBC, dated February 28, 1990.
Thirty-four of the accompanying project data files were selected for archival retention.
