Maine to North Carolina Involves study of ecosystem change; threatened
and endangered species Develop State and Transition Models for
forest/ecosystem restoration Improved mapping and characterization of soils Cooperative work with Forest Service, university
cooperators, NRCS state, MO, or MLRA office; others
Need to define area of project; identify needs and outcomes, partners, funding

Improved extraction procedure for plant available (“exchangeable/extractable”) cations that measures availability in forest soils (tie to site index)
Characterization and interpretation of soil resistance and resilience
Influence of soil climate, landform, ect on organic/inorganic species in spodic horizons, especially Fe mineral species and abundance-outcome is understanding of soil behavior and interpretation
Characterization and interpretation of soil ecosystem services
Soil and landscape interpretations related to catastrophic events (landslides, flooding including flash flooding, liquefaction, etc.)

Similar important projects in Canada that have success are (1) Watershed Evaluation of Best Management Practices (small watersheds in selected provinces that were diverse); and (2) Soil moisture project linked and funded by NASA

Soil Health Use and application of RaCA data Forms of C- Total C, inorganic vs organic,
Humic, Fulvic acids; black C; forms versus soil type, horizon; sequestered soil C vs total C

What are the standard methods; is a simpler, more rapid method feasible?
What is the suggested intensity of measurements, experimental designs; eg., replications.
