I'd like to ask a few questions of all participants. Is everyone aware of the research done here in the Northwest that seems to imply that long term cycles of tree farming may deplete the soil microflora and microfauna to such an extent that the ability to grow trees, much less tree crops is then in question? I would ask only that replies not use the discount rate as a reason to ... discount this possibility. -- Shelley Cimon - Oregon Hanford Advisory Board | Tel: (503) 963-0853 Norm Cimon - Forestry & Range Sciences Lab | Fax: (503) 963-0853 1208 First Street, La Grande, Oregon 97850
