Abstract
During the summer of 1938, a long-time study was inaugurated designed to show the relationship between soil and vegetational cover in the region of Douglas and Burt Lakes in the western part of Cheboygan County, Mich. The study is being carried out under the direction of F. C. Gates, botanist, W. F. Ramsdell, forester, and L. R. Schoenmann, soil scientist. It is expected that the study will cover a period of fifty years or more and will be directed not only at a determination of the changes, both qualitative and quantitative, which take place in the soil and plant cover during that time but also at the establishment of a correlation between soil succession and plant succession. The data secured will also furnish information as to the rate of growth that can be expected of the tree species on the various soil types studied.Subjects
