Introduction Soils on forest landings in central British Columbia are frequently characterized by compaction and nutrient depletion (Carr, 1988a). Degraded soils on landings and other areas where soils

7、 have been disturbed by forest operations often support only meager growth of planted conifers (Arnott et al., 1988). In many cases, soil conditions are so degraded that planting is not attempted on landings. Restoring soil productivity on degraded soils requires that growth-limiting conditions be a

8、lleviated (Bulmer, 1998). Tillage is frequently employed to decompact soils and improve soil productivity(Andrus and Froehlich, 1983). On coarse-textured soils, tillage alone may provide significant benefits for growth of conifers such as lodgepole pine, although the long-term consequences of soil n

9、utrient depletion may be of concern. On fine-textured soils,tillage results have been inconsistent (Carr, 1988b;McNabb, 1994), partly because there is a narrow rangeof moisture content where effective tillage can be carried out, but also because stable aggregates are required to prevent puddling and

10、 poor physical conditions from reappearing shortly after tillage. Stable soil aggregates form when soil mineral grains establish an intimate association with soil organic matter(Tisdall and Oades, 1982). Several approaches could be employed to re-establish stable soil structure after tillage of fine

11、-textured soils. A cover crop of deep rooted grasses and legumes could be established to provide organic matter and enhance biological activity in the root zone,thereby encouraging the development of stable soil aggregates. Another approach that has been proposed involves the incorporation of organi

12、c amendments into the surface soil layer to bring organic and mineral soil materials in contact with each other, and possibly encourage the formation of stable aggregates. This project was developed in order to gain more information about methods for restoring productivity to compact and nutrient-po

13、or soils. We evaluated the effect of several combinations of tillage and the addition of organic amendments on soil properties and the establishment and early growth of lodgepole Pine.2. Materials and methods2.1. Study sitesThe study was carried out on three forest landings 44 km east of Prince Geor

14、ge, in the SBSwk1 biogeoclimatic subzone. Soils were developed from morainal parent materials. The usual surface soil texture was silt loam, but in at least one location, a clay-rich B horizon was encountered. Coarse fragment content varied between 15 and 40%. The landings were located on level or g

15、ently sloping areas. Prior to treatment, there was little vegetation growth on the Landings.2.2. Experimental designNine treatments were applied to 5 m6 m plots, as described in Table 1. Two control plots were established on each landing. The two organic amendments used were wood chips produced as p

16、art of treatments to reduce ®re hazard on the adjacent cutblock, and well-rotted sawdust from an old sawmill site. These materials are typical of soil amendments that may be available at remote rehabilitation sites. The chips had typical particle size of 0.1 m 0.05 m 0.005 m,while the sawdust p

17、articles had all dimensions smaller than 0.003 m. 2.3. TreatmentsTreatments were carried out in the summer of 1994 using an excavator equipped with a five-tooth site preparation rake. Soils were tilled to a depth of 0.50 m, and organic amendments were subsequently shoveled onto the plots to obtain a

18、n even distribution of the material. Amendments were either left as a mulch or subsequently incorporated into the surface 0.20 m of the soil.Pine seedlings (PSB 313) were planted at 1 m spacing on all plots. A legume seed mix was applied in the summer of 1995, but very poor establishment of the legu

19、me cover crop occurred due to dry weather.Grass and legume cover has been maintained at a low level throughout the experiment. All plots, including controls, were fertilized in the summer of 1995, using a combination of urea (45-0-0) and a complete NPK fertilizer (18-18-18). Nitrogen was applied at

20、a rate of 225 kg N ha-1, which represents about one-third of the 500±700 kg N ha-1 that was estimated to be required to compensate for N immobilization during decomposition of the woody residues. The plots received 50 kg ha-1 of K2O and P2O5.2.4. Soil analysis and tree productivity measurements

21、Composite soil samples were collected in October,1994 from the recently treated plots. Samples were air dried, passed through a 0.002 m sieve, and analyzed at the Pacific Forestry Centre. Soil temperature and moisture were evaluated approximately every two weeks during the summer of 1995 by obtainin

22、g three readings with a hand-held thermometer that was inserted 0.15 m below the mineral soil surface. Tree survival and early growth was monitored after one,two, and three growing seasons. Tree height and caliper was determined, along with an assessment of the tree condition. Tree volume was determ

23、ined as the volume of a cylinder with base diameter equal to the caliper, and height equal to the seedling height.3. Results and discussion3.1. Soil properties Soil temperature results are presented in Fig. 1.Even though no analysis was done on the data, and replication was limited, general conclusi

24、ons appear to be justified. Daytime soil temperatures tended to be lower for mulch treatments compared to soils without added amendments. Plots where organic amendmentshad been tilled into the surface had intermediate soil Temperatures. The sawdust had a much lower C : N ratio than the wood chips (F

25、ig. 2), reflecting higher N concentrations for woody materials that have experienced several years of decomposition. P, Ca, Mg and Fe concentrations also appeared to be slightly higher in the sawdust material (data not shown). Concentrations of other elements did not appear to vary consistently betw

26、een the sawdust and wood chip amendments. C : N ratios of surface mineral soils ranged from16.5 to 72.9. Incorporated sawdust increased the C : N ratio of the ®ne fraction of mineral soils compared to plots without added amendments. Incorporated wood chips also resulted in a slight increase in

27、mineral soil C : N, even though the wood chips were generally much larger than 0.002 m. Carbon concentrations of surface mineral soils were affected by several factors,including the presence of buried wood and other organic materials in the untreated landings, and the effect of the organic amendment

28、s on soil C concentrations.Untreated soils at one of the landings had high C concentrations in surface mineral soils, probably resulting from the presence of buried wood and forest floor material. A 0.05 m layer of wood chips is equivalent to an addition rate of 500 m3 ha-1. The chips had dry bulk d

29、ensity of 152 kg m-3, so the addition rate is equivalent to 76 000 kg ha-1 of organic matter, or approximately 44 000 kg ha-1 of carbon. Incorporation of wood chips at a rate of 44 000 kg ha-1 of C into the surface 0.20 m of a hypothetical mineral soil with a bulk density of 1200 kg m-3, would incre

30、ase the C concentration by 1.8%. Only a portion of this C would end up in the ®ne fraction of soil in the first few years after treatment, but all of it is expected to become part of the soil carbon cycle, and portions will eventually contribute to the ®ne soil organic matter content. In c

31、ontrast, sawdust incorporation would be expected to result in similar changes to total C concentration, but the C would appear in the fine soil fraction sooner,because the initial particle size is much smaller for sawdust than for wood chips. As expected, Fig. 2 shows that the plots where sawdust wa

32、s incorporated into the surface had higher organic matter levels in the surface mineral soils than other treatments. Concentrations of other nutrients in surface mineral soils were variable, and did not show obvious trends arising from the treatments.3.2. Tree survival and early growth Seedlings on

33、plots with tillage alone produced the most volume over the 3 year period (Fig. 3). Trees growing in plots where sawdust was used as an amendment tended to have more volume after 3 years than trees growing where wood chips were used as the amendment. Heavy applications of wood chips left as a surface

34、 mulch resulted in the lowest volume growth after 3 years. Survival rates were over 90% for all treatments (Fig. 4). The silty soils were prone to frost heave, and high mortality rates and seedling damage due to frost heave were observed on control and tilled only plots on a wet area of one landing

35、where seepagewater was present, while lower rates were observed for adjacent plots that had received organic amendments.Although data on soil moisture content are not presented here, several effects of the treatments on soil moisture status and availability to tree roots could be considered as causi

36、ng the observed growth response. Lower soil moisture contents may result from better drainage from areas with raised surfaces, resulting in warmer soil temperatures and increased aeration of the root zone. During dry periods,increased soil organic matter contents of soils treated with sawdust or chi

37、p incorporation may improve soil moisture retention and provide moisture for plants.Surface mulches can also enhance moisture retention,although mulches also insulate the surface and may result in lower temperatures. Several factors, including the extent of summer drought during a particular year wo

38、uld determine the beneficial or detrimental effects of variations in soil moisture storage or altered thermal properties on seedling growth. In general,only minor summer moisture deficits are experienced in the SBSwk1.4. ConclusionAfter 3 years, trees were growing best in areas thatwere treated by t

39、illage alone, and trees growing onareas where old sawdust was used as a soil amendmenthad more volume than trees growing in areas wherewood chips were used as a soil amendment. Controlplots with no treatment had intermediate growth. Soiltemperature appears to have a large influence on treegrowth rat

40、es on these plots. Survival after 3 years was high, indicating that commonly available techniques for landing rehabilitation can restore soil conditions to a state suitable for establishment and early growth of conifer seedlings. Some of the variation in early growth results may relate to difference

41、s in initial conditions on the landings.The results also likely reflect the condition of the planting stock shortly after leaving the nursery, along with conditions at the time of planting. These effects have diminished after 3 years and significant treatment effects were observed. Treatment effects

42、 are expected to become even more dramatic in subsequent years as the establishment effects diminish further. The old sawdust had chemical (low C : N) and physical (smaller particle size, expected higher water holding capacity) that may be implicated in the improved growth, but the data available to

43、 date and analyses that have been carried out so far do not allow further interpretation of the cause for the improved growth of trees on the plots treated with sawdust.Acknowledgements Funding for establishment of this project in 1994and 1995 was provided by a grant from Canada's Green Plan to
