Forest soils of Bangladesh
1994
Hassan, M.M.
The forest soils of Bangladesh have been discussed under the four generalized dendroecological regions e.g. (i) Floodplain region, (ii) Plio-Pleistocene Terrace region, (iii) Mio-Pliocene hill region and (iv) Anthropogenetic landtypes region. The dominant soil forming factors and their attributes on physico-chemical, mineralogical properties and the natural soil fertility in each region have been briefly narrated. In addition, major tree species of the dendro-ecological regions and the opportunity for forest production have been discussed. The limitations for tree growth on different dendro-ecological regions have been mentioned. Emphasis has been given on the role of soil moisture regime, acidity, fertility and soil depth on site specific species selection.
