INTRODUCTION Historical Reference
In 1958, the first North American
Forest Soils Conference was held at Michigan State
University to bring together scientists who were interested in
forest-soil relationships, and to give them an opportunity to
discuss their research results and encourage future research in The 2013 Conference
The 12th North American Forest
Soils Conference is being held at the Grouse
Mountain Lodge. It will examine the role of forest soils in
providing ecosystem services and is an opportunity Each conference session is ½ day with an invited keynote speaker and oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts.

area. Every five years thereafter, researchers from universities,
industry, and government agencies have met to continue the tradition
of discussing forest soils research from North America and around
the globe, and where it may take us in the future. So join us in
for researchers,
government officials, and forestry industry personnel to interact
and learn about forest soils research and discuss where it will take
us in the future. Conference sessions will feature keynote
addresses; oral and poster presentations relevant to theme areas;
area forest tours of National Forest and Forest Industry lands; a
dinner banquet; and close with a post-conference geomorphology
