Soil physical and physio-chemical properties of Finnish upland forest sites

Soil physical and physio-chemical properties of Finnish upland forest sites

In soil profiles from a series of uplands of different site types bulk density, density of solids and porosity of soil were clearly related to soil organic matter content and its distribution in the soil profile. Soil organic matter contents were also strongly correlated to effective cati...
