FOREST PLANTATION SUCCESS AND SOIL-SITE CHARACTERISTICS ON OLD FIELDS IN THE GREAT APPALACHIAN VALLEY LEON S. MiNCKLER I N an effort to set up criteria to guide reforestation' of old, fields in the Great Appalachian Valley and adjacent regions, extensive experimental plantings were made and considerable soil and site data collected in a cooperative study with the Tennessee Valley Authority near Norris Lake in eastern Tennessee. In all, about 700 experimental plantings, including different kinds of experiments, were distributed on three broad soil conditions and different aspects and topographic positions. The three soil divisions were types derived from dolomite, limestone, and shale parent material. The dolomite soils were mainly Clarksville and Fullerton; the limestone, Dewey and Talbot; and the shale, Montevallo and Armuchee.
