Long-Term Urban Soil Simulation
When it comes to tree health and establishment, good soil can
make a world of difference. But in urban environments and former
construction sites, soil conditions are often less than ideal. To
combat these commonly found soil conditions, Dr. Chris Fields-

valuable information for soil and tree science.
It's a unique research set-up that might not have been possible if not for the "stars aligning," according to
Dr. Zane Raudenbush, manager of research operations at the Davey Institute. They were able to repurpose
