Abstract

The network of experimental forests and ranges of the USDA Forest Service represents significant opportunities to provide soil solutions to critical issues of a changing world. This network of 81 experimental forests and ranges encompasses broad geographic, biological, climatic and physical scales, and includes long-term data sets, and long-term experimental manipulations. Examples of knowledge gained from individual experimental forests and ranges, and from cross-site studies of these valuable research sites are provided herein.
