Soil Microstructure and Solution Chemistry of a Compacted Forest Soil in a Sub-Boreal Spruce Zone in Canada
This study was conducted to identify and quantify changes to soil microstructure and solution chemistry in order to understand the long-term effects of machinery-induced compaction on the soil. The study area near Log Lake, northeast of Prince George, BC,
