Excerpt from Profile Characteristics of New England Forest Soils

The study of the soil in the forest is a new phase of American soil science. To the early colonists and the westward-moving pioneers who followed, the vast areas of virgin forests were thought of largely as obstacles to the pursuit of agriculture, and much excellent timber was destroyed to make room for cultivated fields. It is natural, therefore, that the soil was first studied from the standpoint of its utilization in the production Of farm crops.
