Inquiry:Spodosols & Maples



To all:

Recently while giving a presentation on Spodosols to my graduate soils
class I stated that spodosols support syrup-producing maples.  I was
quickly heckled by my Professor.  He said that maples usually had a high
demand for nutrients and did not grow well on the low nutrient spodosols.

Since I was recently in Maine at the SAF National Convention, I
know the northeastern U.S.produces maple syrup.

Does anyone have specific sources confirming syrup-producing maples
grow well on Spodosols? Any information would be appreciated.

I have enjoyed the conversations on the Forestry list server as of late.
