Abstract:

Minerals and organic materials have leached out of the soil in North Carolina's coastal lowlands due to shallow roots and heavy rains resulting in the destruction of local forests. A multi-million dollar experiment in Dare County aims to address the deforestation issue by replanting trees that will in turn, serve as commercial forests.
