Soil Management Outline of this presentation: Outline of this presentation:  NRIS-Terra/NASIS Database Integration  Federal Lands Advisory Group  Soil Quality Standards and Monitoring Protocols  Long-term Soil Productivity Program

NRIS-Terra/NASIS Database Integration  NRIS-Terra uses soil map unit data down-loaded from the NRCS National Soil Information System (NASIS).  Integration will simplify data sharing between NRCS and the Forest Service.  A pilot project has been commissioned to resolve how the two corporate databases will share data.  NASIS will be released in late 2007.

Federal Lands Advisory Group  The group is composed of representatives from the NRCS, BLM, Park Service, Department of Defense, and Forest Service  Commissioned by the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) to develop a cohesive strategy to complete the soil resource and/or terrestrial ecological unit inventory of the United States including:  Identification of priority areas to focus limited funding and staffing,  Identification of potential work sites,  Staffing and funding needed to complete the inventory in ten years.

Soil Quality Standards and Monitoring Protocols  An interregional work group has been established to develop soil quality standards.  EMC is sponsoring this initiative.  R-1 is leading the development of Regional SQS:  Several recent appeal decisions have focused on soil quality issues.  The Region has convened a team to develop a set of protocols.

Long-term Soil Productivity Program The ten year report has been released, notable findings: The ten year report has been released, notable findings:  Organic matter removal affected soil carbon in the upper 20cm and in some sites affected soil nitrogen.  Management induced increases in soil bulk density had a greater affect on soils with low to moderate initial bulk densities. Soils with bulk densities of 1.4 g/m3 were not affected.  Induced increases in bulk density recover very slowly if at all.  Vegetation growth response varies with soil texture: Sandy soils increased vegetation growthSandy soils increased vegetation growth Clayey soils decreased vegetation growthClayey soils decreased vegetation growth  The national MOU is being reviewed to see what changes are needed to address current land management issues.
