Hydrologic Characteristics of South Carolina Piedmont Forest Soils. Hoover, M. 1950.
Paper abstract bibtex Nowhere in the country have hydrologic processes in the soil been altered by past land use to a greater extent than in the South Carolina Piedmont. Cultivation and erosion have so changed the surface soil horizons that they have lost much of their former capacity for absorbing and storing rainfall. Because a larger proportion of rainfall now runs off over the land surface and less is stored within the soil, sloping lands are severely eroded and once farmed bottom lands are frequently flooded. There is a general recognition of the erosion problem in this region but little thought has been given to the changes in soil hydrology which are responsible for the erosion and which now make its control difficult. At the Calhoun Experimental Forest we have recently commenced to study these changes in soil hydrology. This forest, in Union County, S. C, was set up on abandoned cotton lands by the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, U. S. Forest Service, to explore the role of trees in restoring depleted Piedmont lands.
