Abstract

The Alaska Forest Soil Productivity Workshop addressed (1) the role of soil information for forest management in Alaska; (2) assessment, monitoring, and enhancement of soil productivity; and (3) Alaska research projects involved in studies of productivity of forests and soils. This proceedings includes 27 papers in five categories: agency objectives in monitoring and enhancing long-term forest productivity; practical approaches to assessing soil productivity and tree growth measurements; soil productivity monitoring for project assessment, implementation, and compliance; soil productivity and tree growth in coastal spruce and hemlock forests; soil productivity and tree growth in interior spruce and hardwood forests; and tree improvement and its role in overcoming site limitations.
