The 2013 Alberta Soil Science Workshop was held from February 19-21 in Lethbridge, with the theme 'Futursol: A New World Order.' Over the course of three days, participants heard from keynote speakers, plenary speakers and poster sessions related to what's happening in Alberta related to soil - from agriculture to forestry to land reclamation. The Alberta Land-use Knowledge Network was pleased to record many of the sessions from ASSW 2013.
Jason House, graduate student, University of Alberta described the inverse relationship of soil carbon in peat-mineral soil mix and water stress on lodgepole pine growth on reclaimed oilsands tailing sands.
His presentation at the 50th Alberta Soil Science Workshop won an award for graduate student presentations at the Workshop.
