DECOMPOSED GRANITIC SOILS: Problems and Solutions

Text/BRAND NEW. Illustrated soft cover/NF. Proceedings of the Conference on Decomposed Granitic Soils: Problems & Solutions, held October 21-23, 1992 in Redding, CA. Preventing/controlling erosion of granitic soils remain a major challenge. These non-cohesive soils behave like wet oatmeal or concrete when saturated, which occurs when surfaces are cut or otherwise breakdown as in newly burnt granitic sites (such as in El Dorado Nat'l Forest and the Salmon River). The 23 multi-discipline essays essays in this publication draw from: geology, soil science, watershed management, forestry, geotechinical engineering, fishery biology, horticulture, and landscape architecture.
