Southern Lumberman 133(1734): 219-221. | Journal Article | Forest soils are, for the most part, self-fertilized by organic material derived from litter. Litter has a beneficial effect on the ability of soil to absorb and retain moisture, on chemical characteristics, and on biological activity. The effects of fire and aspect on litter production are discussed.

Further studies of the balanced water cycle on experimental watersheds. Transactions, American Geophysical Union 28: 421-424. | Journal Article | Maintaining a chronological account or balance of the components of the water resource on a watershed is frequently valuable in hydrology studies. In this paper, a time period for studying this balance is described: the period between the times of maximum watershed storage at the end of each dormant season. Changes in ground-water storage are thus taken into account, and, by choosing the beginning and ending points of the year at times of field capacity, changes in water storage in the soil mass are minimized.

East Africa Agricultural Journal 18(4): 1-7. | Journal Article | This article draws on limited observations and field measurements to reconstruct and compare the moisture balance of the grass-covered and depleted Shimba Hills of Kenya with that under a natural forest. The natural forest, which once occupied the Shimba Hills, is a more desirable cover than grass for maximum-sustained water yield because water additions from mist and dew are greater from the forest.

Influence of forest cutting and mountain farming on some vegetation, surface soil and surface runoff characteristics: Station Paper 24. USDA Forest Service, Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, Asheville, NC. | USDA FS Publication | Infiltration rates, organic matter content, density, and porosity of soils were all adversely affected by conversion of a forested watershed at Coweeta to a mountain farm. Storm runoff volumes, peak discharge rates, flood peak frequencies, and overland flow were all increased. Mountain farming shortly proved to be uneconomical.

Vegetation management for rights-of-way and roadsides, pp.299-322. 1953 Annual Report Smithsonian Institution. | Other | In the short time of less than a decade, a totally new field of vegetation management, that concerned with rights-of-way and roadsides, shows signs of being born as an integrated division of land management. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss some of the problems of managing this type of vegetation and especially to assess the value of herbicides when used as a tool in this management.
